La Charanga Habanera at Carnival de Cuba 2008!

Carnival de Cuba is back on Saturday June 28th and Sunday June 29th at Southwark Park for the fourth Carnival de Cuba - where last year 50,000 people enjoyed the best music and dance from Cuba!

Topping the bill will be La Charanga Habanera, one of the all-time Cuban great Salsa-Timba bands. The island's reggaeton sensation, Eminencia Clasica will join them on the main stage along with Telmary, whose Cuban hip-hop is playing to packed houses in Havana.

UK-based Cuban reggaeton stars Papo Record and Kid Afrika will play along with Osvaldo Chacon y su Timba and the hot new UK-based Cuban band Tumbao Tivoli.

The dance stage will feature top stars and dance workshops and there will also be Conga drumming workshops for adults and kids.

Carnival de Cuba '08 will be one of London's most kid-friendly events with free kid's drumming and dance workshops, smoothie bars, a great kid's Conga procession, Carnival face painting, a baby-changing area and a funfair.

Access is free and there will be a huge range of Cuban, Latin and World food outlets and bars by Cubana bar-restaurant.
