Back for his third visit to the Cityfolk Festival is Ricardo Lemvo, who has been widely hailed as a world music pioneer with his innovative African Diaspora mixture of pan-African styles (including soukous, Angolan semba and kizomba) with Afro-Cuban rhythms. The Los Angeles Times calls his extremely danceable global fusion “seamless and organic—and infectious,” and the Chicago Tribune praises Lemvo as being “one of the few artists in tropical music today who is moving the genre forward.” Lemvo’s 10-piece band Makina Loca is a hard-hitting, multi-national ensemble that showcases stellar musicians who sing in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Lingala and Kikongo They will tear up the dance floor on Saturday and Sunday.
