Da Lata

A high-energy fusion of Afro-Brazilian rhythms, soul, jazz-funk, and trip hop.


London's original global groove trailblazers are back to celebrate 25 years of ground-breaking sound.


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.
