¡ARRIBA LA CUMBIA!
5 June Originating in northern Colombia, cumbia was a slave courtship dance and until the 1980s was more popular than salsa in some regions. Downstairs at Passing Clouds — one of east London's best-kept secrets — live bands, including Pollito Boogaloo, will whip you into a Latin frenzy, while upstairs are dancers-cum-DJs The Bees Knees.
