"The Mexican ... is familiar with death, jokes about it, caresses it, sleeps with it, celebrates it. True, there is as much fear in his attitude as in that of others, but at least death is not hidden away: he looks at it face to face, with impatience, disdain or irony." OTAVIA PAZ
FUEGO!
Compadres! Muchachas e’ Muchachos!
A bone shaking Bonanza! The Rambunctious Social Club brings you the exuberant Dia de los Muertos, a Mexican day of the dead celebration. We smile and Grin with our dead, we welcome them back and we dance! The party of the year is back with a full building takeover, inside and outside of the Barrel House ballroom and Totnes brewery, upstairs and downstairs!
Throw out your greys, dress up and dance with the dead!
AN EXCLUSIVE! FROM PERU! AUTHENTIC CHICHA CUMBIA TO LITERALLY LIFT THE SPIRITS!
From PERU! MANZANA TROPICAL CHICHA
Further down into the South American climes….is this exciting new Latin act playing Peruvian Cumbia! We are so excited to get these guys down for the Mexican Ball.
Peruvian cumbia is a subgenre of chicha that became popular in the coastal cities of Peru, mainly in Lima in the 1960s through the fusion of local versions of the original Colombian genre, traditional highland huayno, and rock music, particularly surf rock and psychedelic rock.
So pleased to finally welcome our hard working festival friend HipHoppapotamus to Totnes for the first time!
DJ HIPHOPPAPOTAMUS
Sunshine music for the masses! Exotic flavours, soulful melodies and party beats, the happy hippo always brings the sunshine no matter what the weather. The Hippo has created his own unique party vibe by infusing Latin, Caribbean and Afro styles into his tastefully produced selections of Breaks, House, Drum & Bass and Hiphop.
'The Wag' is a Rambunctious favourite and played with us several times, most recently at Tropical Pressure Festival.
