Our first performance was in 1998 when we designed a community float playing Afrocuban music for the Caribbean Carnival
of Manchester. A year later we brought over from Cuba renowned ritual singer and percussionist Amelia Pedroso. With the assistance
of the North West Arts board we performed in London and Manchester and were critically noted by the Guardian newspaper, Time
Out and City Life magazines.
