History is made
as Radio Chango herald their first event in London, in conjunction with
the band Peyoti For President, and both represent a vision to transmit
fiesta through music and to be at the same time a catalyst for peaceful
rebellion and struggle for a better world.
Peyoti For
President headline the
event on the verge of releasing their eagerly anticipated debut album in May.
Having proved themselves at recent support slots alongside no less than Manu
Chao and Los De Abajo they present a fresh sound and attitude that
knows no borders and seeks to inspire, uplift and invigorate. This show will be
a chance to catch them with the full glory of their sparkling new line up which
includes some of London's most exciting musicians from around the world.
The man behind
the Radio Chango Sound System DJ Selector Matanzas makes a
very rare UK appearance at Cargo to give the London audiences a taste of what
this movement is all about. The recent 2 Disc Radio Chango CD bears the
hallmarks of his mixing skills and formidable DJ sets with everything from
special Cumbia edits, Dub, Arabic Hip Hop, Brazilica groove, Flamenquillo Drum
and Bass to Gypsy Ska and Rumba Catalana.
Adding more
conscious voices and some highly original Jazz tinged Hip Hop -Sound of Rum are the perfect complement to the evening's proceedings.
The event also
welcomes the debut of a new breed of circus act with Las Conchas Circus an amazing all female cast of performers.

PEYOTI FOR PRESIDENT
Dance anthems, party vibes,
rabble-rousing punk doused with the fuel of social consciousness! Peyoti for
President are a high-energy, feel-good band whose performances consistently
leave audiences sweating, grinning and inspired. Having recently supported no
less than Manu Chao and Los De Abajo the band is on a roll about to embark on a
tour of Eastern Europe and Germany and set to release their triumphant debut
album "Rising Tide of Confirmity".
"Not so much a pop group....more an
attitude... more a way of life... more a way of thinking" Tom Robinson on his
BBC6
"Peyoti for President are fast emerging
as the UK music scene‘s leading political agitators, with lyrics laden with
consciousness, their music is powerful and heartfelt. Peyoti may preach peace
and harmony but this is incendiary music - they cannot and surely will not be ignored."
Songlines Magazine, November 2008
