Camilo Menjura and Santiago Jara @ LatinoLife's 'Intimo' Summer Concert Series 2021 (Day 2)

Our first act on Day 2 of our ‘Intimo’ dinner-concerts was Colombian-born Camilo Menjura, two-time LUKAS winner and arguably London’s most loved Latin American singer-songwriter, who found his musical yang in the beautiful voice in Chilean vocalist, musician and composer Santiago Jara.⁠ ⁠ The magical harmony they created together singing boleros and Latin American classics astounded our garden audience and provoked messages on North London Facebook groups. ‘Who was playing that amazing music that drifted along the road this evening. Whoever it was…Thank you!’⁠

During the Summer of 2021, as locked down eased but live music venues in London still closed, LatinoLife opened its doors for a series of intimate dinner-concerts. On four days in June, our guests listened to the magic of some of the UK's best Latin music, live in our open-plan kitchen-living, overlooking a spectacular view of London, and in our garden, whilst enjoying delicious food and cocktails from our favourite Latin American chefs.

What an experience! 4 unique evenings of food, great music and merriment latino-style, just like we do it 'en casa'! The sounds and smells extended beyond our walls and over our garden fence and got the whole neighbourhood talking.
