Da Lata

A high-energy fusion of Afro-Brazilian rhythms, soul, jazz-funk, and trip hop.Having just celebrated their 25th anniversary London’s original global groove trailblazers come to the Fox for the first time on the back of their acclaimed 2025 album 'Edge Of Blue'.Da Lata’s Edge Of Blue is not just a return, but a new beginning, North London tropicalia born out of the alchemy of longing. Never before have Da Lata woven their many strands so sweetly, blending their diverse influences with the musical personalities of their extended family into a collection of songs that speak of struggle, survival, and ultimately hope.Da Lata is the brainchild of producer Chris Franck and DJ/broadcaster Patrick Forge, Da Lata emerged from the vibrant intersection of London club culture and Brazilian influence in the late ‘90s. They combine world-influences with the melting pot of their native city, carving out a space that was equal parts sun-drenched and rhythmically global.Known for deeply spiritually uplifting live shows and a long list of heavyweight collaborators, from Tony Allen to Jhelisa, Bernie Worrell to Mayra Andrade, Da Lata’s return is both a homecoming and a celebration of one of the UK’s most iconic and enduring musical forces.
