Kinetika Bloco: Africa Utopia Edit

14 Sep 2019 - 15 Sep 2019

Dynamic dance, colourful costumes and irresistible beats: it’s the south London youth performance group, taking us on a journey through grime, garage, Afrobeat and jazz.

Get caught up in the energy of the company’s spectacular performance, featuring brass, woodwind, drums, steel pans and dance.

Creating a British carnival sound, the group draws influences from the sounds and movements of the Caribbean, Brazil, west and south Africa, New Orleans jazz, funk and hip-hop.

Kinetika Bloco is one of four community-focused Creative Learning Partners that we work with at Southbank Centre.

The company engages young people from south London in long-term creative activity, advancing their education, skills, and capacity for learning and leadership.
