Who on earth is Néstor Álvarez? Come see the live incarnation of British producer Neil Anderson’s mysterious project—from Original Gravity Records, a label renowned for its focus on vintage music and bringing the “old sound” back to life—in its world festival premiere. Néstor Álvarez has released a string of successful 7-inch singles in the rhythms of Latin music and boogaloo. But his repertoire also includes soul, funk, and other unexpected detours.
The Original Gravity Allstars, led by Anderson himself, brings together a host of unexpected talents from various genres and countries, from Britain to the Czech Republic. Get ready for the rhythm of the percussion, a tight horn section, British straightforwardness, and surprising moments in a repertoire where Latin fever can easily take over even songs by Shaun Ryder of the Happy Mondays.
