Esteban Card

Friday night with the fantastic Esteban Card melding ancestral drumming music from Colombia in a contemporary context, with support from Jenny Parra, part of the new wave of female artists under cultural influences of Latin American folklore! This night is part of the EFG London Jazz Festival!

Headliner Esteban Card is a London-based Colombian artist presenting a distinctive twist on folkloric Colombian music. His innovative mixture of traditional drums and organic contemporary sounds represents a forward-facing musical identity anchored to his roots. Esteban's trance-inducing soundscape creates an arresting alternative to better-known Latin American styles, performing live in a captivating 5-piece format. His debut studio album 'INELEMENTUM' channels diasporic sentiments of Colombia's African heritage via Bullerengue and Cumbia rhythms, with a thought-provoking modern-day awareness.

In support, Jenny Parra is Colombian singer and string multi-instrumentalist. She is part of the new wave of female artists under cultural influences of Latin American folklore, adding to the songs her energetic sound, rhythms, melodies and sweet voice. Jenny connects her wonderful knowledge of Latin American cultures and traditional music, rescuing music and folk styles, blending them into her own musical style, and bringing a classic repertoire to the modern era.
