\"Mestisa<\/a><\/p>\n

After a family tea to say goodbye to Marisa (who\u2019s off to travel around Europe and then India before starting Uni) we popped along to 7 in Chapel Allerton to see our favourite Latin American band Mestisa<\/a>. Ana Luisa (Chile) Barbara (Germany) Tenley (USA) and Mike (UK) are a tight unit with a rich sound. They were joined for a few tunes by Matt Hurt whos delicate playing of the Cuban Tres added to the massive array of instruments used tonight (including a ‘Quatro’ that almost became a ‘Trio’ due to an irreverent string)<\/p>\n

\"Mestisa<\/a><\/p>\n

They do traditional songs from Chile, Venezuela, Bolivia, Argentina, Cuba, Mexico\u2026..all with a little story to introduce each slice of South American life, and all with a \u2018Mestisa\u2019 twist. Happy fiesta songs and rebel worker songs rub shoulders with \u2018day of the dead\u2019 laments \u2013 all done with style and grace. I was particularly taken with (now a PhD in percussion) Dr Tenley\u2019s exquisite played of the glockenspiel with 4 mallets \u2013 just amazing! The South Americans in the audience didn\u2019t need any encouragement to clap and sing along and get up and dance\u2026.and by the end, even the reserved Brits were up dancing. A great night – Catch them next at the Leeds Flamenco Festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n
