Our special guests are Los Bravos de la K’umbia, a full-power tropical–psychodelic unique show, are bringing the classic sounds of Cumbia and Chicha from Peru brought by the roots of folklore and Latin American music. The band brings to life the hybrid sound popular in the 1960s and 1970s that blends Amazonic and cumbia rhythms with psychedelic effects — is experiencing a global reawakening with fierce Latin energy with the amplified strum of surf guitars ripping across a percussive bed of conga slaps, powerful cowbell and timbal sounds, bold bass, psychedelic amazonic melodies and the gurgling rasp of a guiro. A musical trip to the origins of Chicha music were born in the ayahuasca nature in the amazonic jungle and brought to you by these trustworthy musical shamans.

We are grateful to everyone for the support that our family friends Kanti Qena & Phaxsi Coca from Lokandes/Sagrada Família (Sumaq Ayllu) have received since the loss of their son and talented Raymi Willka.

It has been a very difficult and emotional time for some of us, but for them, it is not the same anymore. We are now trying to reach as many people as we can as the family is getting legal help to get some answers that will get them onto a long road to justice for their son Raymi but will also prevent and help others that this will not happen again to anyone in the future. Please read below and share if you can. Gracias a todos por su apoyo 🤍 CN.

*A message to everyone.

We greet to all large family not only in London, but also in the world.

We are launching a campaign in search of the truth. Justice is also knowing the truth.

14-year-old , Raymi, tragically drowned during a trip in Amsterdam. The circumstances remain unclear, and we are left with heart-wrenching questions. A Coroner’s Inquest has been opened to investigate Raymi’s death. This is our only chance to find answers to know the truth and push for changes that will protect other children in the future. However, navigating this complex legal process requires expert legal representation, and we cannot do this alone. We are not entitled to Legal Aid for representation at the Inquest, and the legal fees are far beyond what we can afford.

We have launched a fundraising campaign, “Help Us Seek Justice for Raymi,” so that we can proceed with the inquest as the Coroner has requested. We need your support to find the truth and prevent other families from experiencing this pain.

Please consider helping fund the investigation and honour Raymi’s memory. Please also share as far and as wide as you can.
