Tuesday 28th June. Latin, America and African music at the Regent. One of those nights. Not just one of those nights. This was an outstanding experience. On stage tonight was Sofrito, the Latin Blues band influenced by Latino and Cuban Vibes. Describing itself as 'stylistically unique', their leader is Tony Webster and the vocalist Astra Sirbon and a total of eight artists altogether which I believe is an octet. Tonight, we enjoyed the vibes of Reggae, Samba, Carlos Santana and South Africa. Among others. It really was a superb evening of musical delights. Three percussionists with an array of instruments including the Djembe, bongos, tom-toms ... (I wished I knew all the names) and a wide variety of things that were scraped and shaken. A magnificent cocktail of sounds. One number had what I thought might have been a South African sound; which I particularly liked. It was all so wonderful that a few people got up and danced. The whole thing was intoxicating. This is a band that will attract an increasing following.

Sofrito is one of those bands that is guaranteed to get everyone in the mood to dance, whether that's up on their feet or sitting at their table. They played such a variety of genres... I heard Reggae, Latin Blues, Jazz... the skill of each of the members is mesmerising and the energy that comes from the front of the room is so vibrant. I left feeling inspired to want to become a musician myself! I think it took about a week for the songs Sofrito performed to leave my head! Sofrito is an impressive, unique band with a growing following and I look forward to seeing them at upcoming events around the UK.
