Los Albertos
The Parlure Spiegeltent
Hungry for a party? Look no further than the scrumptious Los Albertos, a six-piece ska sensation who will more than satisfy your appetite with foot-stomping, feel-good sounds; think Madness, the Clash and Santana. Two saxophones, a trumpet, guitar, drums, bass, cheeky lyrics and more energy than an Olympic sprint team kept the jam-packed Spiegeltent crowd dancing. Sprightly beat-tastic songs, sung by the entire band, told hilarious tales of festival fields, drunken adventures and affairs of the heart; Los Albertos have a wicked sense of fun and can be very tongue-in-cheek. Perfectly suited to the quirky venue, this was a superb show by a local band that effortlessly represent this city's bohemian vibe; why the sizzling hot Los Albertos are currently so in demand was crystal clear.
