Bio
The London Lucumi Choir was formed in Dec 06 by Afro Cuban Singer Extraordinaire Martha Galarraga (oni Chango) and Musician Daniela Rosselson (omo Ochun) and assited by Dave Pattman ( Omo Anya) after many years of running voice workshops dedicated to singing songs for the Orisha.(Yoruba deities) It is the first non audition choir of its kind welcoming members regardless of age. We have members aged 15 to over 60 from all walks of life. The choir sings songs to the Orisha accompanied by traditional Bata Drums and occasionally other Afro-Cuban Genres, but with original arrangements by MD Daniela, percussion directed by Javier Campos Martinez. In it's short life the Lucumi Choir were category finalists 2008 at BBC Radio three Choir Competition of the Year, opened for Eliades Ochoa at London's premier venue, the Barbican. They also have played at the Open Rehearsal initiative and Voice Lab presents at the South Bank; and also played alongside established bands such as Yoruba Andabo at the Barbican 50 celebrations. They have performed over the summer at many a summer festival and also have performed on Radio London and Ben TV. Recently they received funding to perform an original piece composed by Juwon Ogungbe and they secured more funding to perform with the Union Dance Company by the BBC Choral Ambition Fund; The Choir has also recently been joined by ex Yoruba Andabo singer "Gerardo".Please enjoy the photos and videos on this page. They have just released their first CD and will launch the physical copy on the 24th April 2012 Daniela at londonlucumichoir@wildindigo.co.uk -
