Santiago de Cuba Presents An Evening with Reina Rumba.

Reina Rumba Duo brings a soulful and stylish take on Latin music to the heart of London’s live scene. Featuring Angie on vocals and percussion and Lilli on piano, this seasoned duo draws on over 20 years of experience performing across the UK and beyond.

Their repertoire flows from the romantic depth of boleros to the rhythmic sway of Cuban son and the infectious pulse of cumbia, with touches of contemporary Latin sounds woven throughout. Whether gently swaying through a classic ballad or grooving into a slow-burning son, the duo creates an immersive experience that draws the audience in—ideal for listeners who appreciate authenticity, artistry, and the soul of Latin music in its purest form.

For a night of live music that’s both stylish and emotionally resonant, Reina Rumba Duo brings just the right blend of charm, rhythm, and storytelling to your speakeasy soirée.

Thursday Throwdown

So that is Thursday Throwdown exactly? Each Thursday after 11pm, we’re switching it up at Nightjar. Firstly there will be a free, late set of live music from 11.30 pm. But, better than that, thanks to Don Julio, we’re going to drink like it’s 2010! Our special late-night menu is a nod to the days (and prices!) of when Nightjar first opened, fifteen years ago.

A gifted guitarist and singer-songwriter, Mazza has been a defining presence in the UK blues scene since 2009. He has shared the stage with renowned artists such as Little George Sueref, Ian Siegal, and Adam Gussow, and has been a key figure in the London blues community, notably through his long-standing association with the iconic Ain't Nothin' But... Blues Bar.

With his new band, Mazza has masterfully blended deep Southern blues with the vibrancy of a modern four-piece rock ensemble. This unique fusion of classic and contemporary elements sets Mazza apart as a dynamic and innovative force in the blues genre. He is a regular performer at venues like London's Ain't Nothing But... Blues Bar. Other notable venues include  Ram Jam Records, Nightjar, The Roxy, Temple of Art and Music, The Magic Garden, and more. He also hosts weekly residencies at various blues bars in London.

 Recorded in the summer of 2023 at the legendary Toe Rag Studios, Mazza’s upcoming debut album features an exceptional lineup of musicians. The album includes UK harmonica virtuoso Laurence Garman, legendary drummer Brendan O'Neill, and bassist Tsukasa Takaoka, with special guest and co-producer Little George Sueref. The project was engineered and produced by the acclaimed Liam Watson, known for his work with top artists.
