Ran Kan Kan team up again with charismatic Cuban dance teacher Ariel Rios, for a night of Cuban dance, with live music from the golden years of Cuban big bands. This 24-piece Oxford based big band bring syncopated mambos, rumba and son montuno classics made famous by Buena Vista Social Club for you to dance to.

The evening starts shortly after 8pm with a Cuban salsa class led by the infectious and talented Cuban dancer and teacher, Ariel Rios, who will get you in the mood to shake your stuff Cuban-style, and keep it caliente on the dance floor, spinning tasty Latin and salsa tunes through to midnight.

With virtuoso percussion, keyboards, bass and tres (Cuban guitar), lavish brass and woodwind, and 5-strong vocals led by Pancho Vera, Melisa Akdogan and Karla Peña, Ran Kan Kan will delight your senses.

Be warned, you will want to dance.

“Super-hot percussion keeps the audience moving, the brass section provides a lavish opulence to proceedings and the powerful vocal harmonies impress…. Thoroughly exhilarating.” – Morning Star
