Ahi Na Ma
El Swing - at The Portico Pleasure Palace - where the bands and DJs love to play, and the dancers love to dance.
Wil Sifontes - from Caracas, Venezuela - is one of the UK’s most accomplished, outstanding, and prolific percussionists, and his Latin Sound project explores an infectious, rhythmic, and authentic approach to the Latin American repertoire. Wil is renowned for his border-hopping approach whilst delivering an array of different musical Latin styles, and keeping the dance floor bubbling.
Wil also runs the larger Conjunto Sabroso band and has backed many of Salsa’s biggest stars (Henry Fiol, Adalberto Santiago, Tito Gomes) and played some of the most prestigious festivals (Glastonbury, North Sea, Womad).
