What's on in St. Mary Magdalene

Cornwall, England

St. Mary Magdalene sits snug in Cornwall where the sea breeze often decides if you'll be indoors or on the beach today. With no big venues to shout from, the town relies on local halls and community rooms that pop up with music nights or market stalls whenever the mood takes them. It's a place where the calendar fills itself quietly, like tides coming in. You won't find crowds pushing for doorways here, just neighbours gathering for a game of cards or a family show put on by the locals. The rhythm is slow enough to let you catch your breath before heading out for dinner. Near Here keeps an eye on what's brewing so you can plan your evening without checking a dozen websites.

18 April: The Latin Bridge - The second of our festival of Four World Music Concerts

The second in the series of ‘Our Music Planet’ Festival concerts is a celebration of the music from Latin America.  We welcome The Latin Bridge on their first visit to Calstock Arts. It is a vocal and instrumental Latin/Cuban project that was formed in 2016 by the experienced Cuban musician Sergio Marciano Pereda. Joining Sergio (guitar/vocals) is Cristiano Rocha Assis (trumpet), Aldofredo Pulido (bass) and Yosmany González García (percussion). A dynamic and vibrant band that are always in a ‘Latin Key’, bringing the rich rhythms and soul of Latin music to life. Expect a swinging Saturday evening of traditional Cuban Folk, and from infectious dance grooves (Salsa, Bossa Nova, Rumba, Son..) to passionate Boleros ballads. “From intimate whispers to full-throttle rhythm, the band delivers a journey through sound that is both thrilling and heartfelt”. The diverse styles of Latin American music offer a musical journey through different cultures and histories, enriching the global music world with its vibrant rhythms and soulful melodies. Its roots can be traced back to the colonisation of the Americas by Spain, bringing with it European musical traditions. When blended with African rhythms and the indigenous musical heritage of the Americas, a unique and colourful music was created. In essence, the diversity, rhythm, and danceable nature of Latin music make it a much loved genre that transcends linguistic and cultural barriers.
