The London Lucumi Choir

A community based Afro-Cuban spiritual choir with members from across the globe, The London Lucumi Choir sings songs to Yoruba Deities known as Orisha accompanied by traditional Bata drums. This year, they celebrate 20 years of performing and five albums. They have supported major artists including Buika and Eliades Ochoa. For the London Lucumi Choir, getting together to sing and dance is the true meaning of community.
