We'll be playing at Holifair on Saturday, Aug the 7th, 6.30pm on the main stage at this great little festival at Holifield Farm near Gweek, Helston. Click to visit their website and book your tickets. All proceeds go to a really good cause.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Kabasa is honoured to play for the last ever event at the much loved Acorn Theatre on the 28th of August. It's very sad that this great place has to close it's doors, but everyone round here that really apriciates the Acorn is determined to celebrate all the years it has provided wonderful entertainment and a community focal point. So come and celebrate The Acorn with us on Sat 28th!

 

Plus we have 2010 dates lining up for Jazz Noir, Groove Lounge, Miss Peapods, Cubano Bop, Salsa Salamanca, Golowan, Holifair, Lafrawda and loads more...

Recent gigs:

Golowan 2010 -
The sun shone, it was hot hot hot - and Latin Quarter at the Acorn Theatre was a great night. Really well attended and a good time had by all. Next day in the garden of the Arts Club, it was packed - on the patio, on the lawn, under the balcony, on the balcony and stairs, in the lounge - and on the street outside! Thanks to all those who came to see us at either, or both gigs. We had a blast! Check out vids here.

St Ives September Festival.
Supporting Edward II at the Guildhall, we played to a very enthusiastic crowd who were definitely up for a good time, and a good dance too and EII were fab! Looking forward to headlining next year maybe. ;^D

Port Isaac festival.
We were made so welcome at Port Isaac's festival on the 23rd of May and played to a very warm and apriciative audeince. A few familiar faces came over from Truo's Salsa scene to lend a hand on the dance floor. The whole event had a great atmoshpere.

'Roots & Rhythms' in aid of Survival International. Kabasa! played gratis for this charity benefit launch party at the Arts Club in Penzance. Roots & Rhythms will be getting together monthly for global grooving, and have a live evening every 1/4.

Miss Peapods, Penryn
A first time for us over at Peapods and a chance to introduce some new material - and man are we looking forward to going back this summer for some more! A great atmosphere and a really enthusiastic crowd of groovers.

Groove Lounge, Penzance Arts Club.
Mr Richard Ballinger invited us down to play a live set in the main lounge while he and guest DJs laid down a select mix of Funk, Soul, Latin and Eclectic beats in the cellar. It was a top night with massive attendance and a really enthusiastic crowd. We loved it and we'll be back there real soon!

Salsa Salamanca - L2 club, Truro.
having played at L2 as part of Truro Live Music Week earlier in 08, we returned by popular demand for their Christmas party. The event was very well attended, we thoroughly enjoyed it and got loads of great comments from the dancers. Check out Salsa Salamanca for more info on their regular Salsa nights in Truro.

Jazz Noir, Arts Club Penzance.
What a hot night! We had a fantastic time playing to a packed crowd on a sultry summer night. The evening kicked off with dancing to our mix of hot Salsa tunes, followed by two 1 hour sets. We then slid effortlessly into our mix of top eclectic, funky latin grooves keeping the dance floor happening til midnight. In the words of organiser Mark Hadley "you guys kicked ass tonight!"

If you have a Latin gig and would like it listed here, please email 'greg@lightcircus.com'.
