Music

It’s a cliché that Latin American music is filled with passion – but Ana Carla Maza is evidence that sometimes there’s no smoke without fire.

This is one of the most curious gigs I’ve ever been to: it’s almost as if the audience was incidental to the event taking place at all.

As part of her between songs chat Nabihah Iqbal mentioned how impressed she was that Norwich has (or had) 52 churches – so hopefully she’ll appreciate this description of her gig being something of a curate’s egg.

It’s one thing to have heroes – it’s quite another to write an album of songs celebrating them.

The Norfolk and Norwich Festival Spiegeltent often throws up surprises: tonight was the first time I’ve seen a crowd sit on the floor for a song.

Jazz-fusion band Nubiyan Twist got the Spiegeltent shaking with their smorgasbord of hip-hop, afrobeat, dancehall, soul, reggae and dance.
