About this event
Kinetika Bloco's young musicians, dancers and costume-makers close their summer school with a full showcase in the Clore Ballroom — steel pan, brass, samba and Caribbean carnival rhythms played at volume by a large ensemble. It lands a fortnight before Notting Hill Carnival, where many of the same performers appear, and works as a preview of it.
Why we picked it
A large, loud carnival-band showcase indoors and free, two weeks ahead of Notting Hill.
