Following on from the success of November’s documentary release, Latino Life present ‘Fuerza London – The Concert’. It was a pleasure for Alvorada to be a part of this. We played Jeremy’s moving waltz, ‘Gina’.

Alvorada were featured in the recent documentary ‘Fuerza London’. Made by Latino Life, the film explores the experiences of the Latin community in London during the Covid pandemic, interspersed with performances from some of the leading bands on the capital’s Latin scene. It’s a really touching piece of work, and we were delighted to be a part of it.

An original Alvorada composition by Rachel and Luiz. ‘Borbulhando’ means ‘bubbling’ – this is a jacuzzi-inspired song!

This was filmed by Latino Life at Rich Mix, for the London Latin Music Conference Showcase. Latino Life are an amazing organisation who do loads to promote Latin music in the city.

This week, Alvorada went in to Rich Mix again for some more filming with Latino Life. This time they invited us to take part in their documentary, to be released later in year, which will explore the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the Latin music scene in London. Here are some shots of the beautiful set that formed the backdrop of our performances.

After the success of our last gig at Folklore, we’re delighted to have another live date coming, on Saturday 24th October, this time at the classy Doña in Stoke Newington – also known for its great mezcal cocktails! It’s great to be able to play another show when opportunities are so limited at the moment. Musicians and venues are struggling alike, so we hope to have a good turn out for this one.

News of a gig this Sunday, 20th September – Alvorada will be playing a live show in an actual venue! We had been planning to do another Garden Special gig. As we’re all getting used to in the current climate though, things can change at very short notice.

Therefore we’re delighted that Folklore have agreed to host us for this show, our first indoor performance since the beginning of lockdown. Tickets will be strictly limited, socially distanced, and available in advance only. Book here:

We can’t wait to be back on stage!

Alvorada had the pleasure of filming a couple of videos for the London Latin Music Conference, in connection with the London Latin music festival, La Linea . It was great to get to return to Rich Mix for the session, even if just to play in the empty space rather than a live gig.

For anyone interested in attending the online conference, with discussion panels and performances, it airs on September 11th, and is free to sign up to.
