Headline Act - THE PABLO BARRIOS BAND
Hot Rhythmic, Vibrant Latin Jazz Celebration!
The Pablo Barrios Band is led by Venezuelan-born pianist, composer, and percussionist Pablo Barrios, a rising voice in London’s Latin and jazz scene. Rooted in Venezuelan folklore, Cuban salsa, timba and guaguancó, the band fuses high-energy Afro-Latin rhythms with jazz improvisation and contemporary influences to create a powerful, dance-driven live experience.
Pablo has performed with leading ensembles such as the National Youth Jazz Orchestra of Great Britain and Ebony Steel Band, and collaborated with world-class artists including Jojo Mayer, Tania De Venezuela, Tommy Blaize, and Pete Long. He is also the Musical Director of the NYJO Latin Collective.
An award-winning composer, Pablo is the recipient of the William Mathias Composition Prize and has written music for major international and ceremonial events. He is an ambassador for Caribbean and Latin music in the UK, having performed and led ensembles at significant Commonwealth events, including the Commonwealth Games and the inauguration of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Renowned for their explosive live shows, the Pablo Barrios Band has sold out iconic London venues such as Ronnie Scott’s and Alfie’s Soho, captivating audiences with virtuosic musicianship, infectious rhythms, and a fearless blend of tradition and innovation. Their performances are a celebration of Latin music at its most powerful, joyful, and forward-thinking.
