Kinetika Bloco Ltd

Kinetika Bloco is a performance group with an exuberant mix of young brass and woodwind players, drummers, steel pan and dynamic dancers all in costume creating a “unique British Carnival sound with a decidedly London edge” (BBC Radio2). Kinetika Bloco’s mission is to get young people from South London engaged in long term creative activity advancing their education, skills, and capacity. Through music and leadership activities, we enable young people to have creative engagement, determine company policy and direction, to follow pathways for leadership and career development and participate in society as mature and responsible individuals. Kinetika Bloco aims to embody and promote a positive representation of youth in London. We draw our influences from the Caribbean, Brazil, West and Southern Africa, New Orleans jazz, Funk and Hip Hop. We have an outstanding track record in musical progression, developing a consistent and proven talent pathway for young artists which empowers them to develop creatively and take a lead within Bloco and the wider sector. Our members create the work with a team of professional tutors and help to lead the organisation.
