Kinetika Bloco Ltd

Kinetika Bloco is a performance group with an exuberant mix of young brass and woodwind players, drummers, steel pan and dynamic dancers all in costume creating a “unique new British Carnival sound with a decidedly London edge” (BBC Radio2). We draw our influences from the Caribbean, Brazil, West and Southern Africa, New Orleans jazz, Funk and Hip Hop. Our members create the work with a team of professional tutors and help to lead the organization. Our achievements include: performances at Notting Hill Carnival, Bestival and London Jazz Festival; headlining the Roundhouse; performing for Nelson Mandela who called us “enchanting”; representing the UK at Beijing Olympic Festival; leading Team GB in the London 2012 Victory Parade; collaborating with major artists like AfroReggae, The Hot 8 Brass Band, Jerry Dammers at high profile venues including Southbank, Barbican and the Royal Albert Hall; launching BBC Get Creative; opening the London Marathon; starring on BBC 1Xtra and BBC Radio 3’s Young Artist Day; and in 2019 performing our own second line in New Orleans!

Kinetika Bloco was established as a charity in June 2010, but has been in existence since 2000 when it was first established as a project within Kinetika Art Links International. In 2016 we became a Youth Company in Residence in Southbank Centre. We have been accepted as an Arts Council National Portfolio Organisation for 2018-2022.
