The London based Bloco is an exuberant mix of young brass and woodwind players, drummers, steel pan and dancers, creating a “unique new British Carnival sound with a decidedly London edge” (BBC Radio 2).
The Sound of the Streets promotes outdoor music, street bands and celebratory sound, bringing streets and public spaces to life, creating free and accessible events. We also run education projects and create youth bands , inspiring children and young people with this vibrant music, life affirming music and encouraging them to play instruments, and join bands. We look to the future, encouraging new generations of outdoor musicians and bands, creating new music and explore and demonstrate the potentials of street music in Education.
