Ariel Rios Robert (left) as the Orisha Eleggua, with an impromptu dance studentSuch a fabulous weekend of partying in Southwark Park at the Carnival de Cuba with mi gente caliente de Londres (those hot-blooded Londoners), followed by a night at Salsa Republic’s Afterparty at Club Colosseum where everyone turned out in style. Including (bless their colourful socks) the 8 best dancers from Ballet Rakatan who treated the clubbers to a blistering guaguanco and rueda show at 1.30am, after doing two performances that day.
Flaked out between 12.30am and 1am…thinking…this is it…I can’t take any more.
But a quick snooze put me right. Well, not really. Young children and nightclubs don’t mix well – they conspire to rob you of sleep. Didn’t drink a single drop of alcohol last night but this morning felt like I had a horrible hangover.
I’ll be Youtubing some clips of all those Londoners grooving away in the park. (Yes, including me.)
