A funk and soul revue consisting of half music and half comedy is coming to the Marine Theatre in Lyme Regis.

Festival favourites The Cuban Brothers will entertain on Saturday, August 24.

The brothers are the entertainment of choice for Elton John, Richard Branson and Robbie Williams.

Their residency at Rob da Bank’s celebrated Sunday Best parties led to the band hosting the main stage at Bestival. The band has supported James Brown, Chuck Berry, Fatboy Slim, De La Soul, Talib Kweli, and performed with Prodigy, Q-Tip, Chic, Roy Ayers, and Jocelyn Brown - as well as touring the world in their own right.

The Cuban Brothers’ show blends soulful music with b-boy action and riotous comedy. From humble beginnings, Miguel Mantovani, Archerio Mantovani, Kengo San, and Domenico have built Los Hermanos Cubanos - The Cuban Brothers - into a legendary outfit that continuously sells out shows across the globe.

Mike Keat (Miguel) started The Cuban Brothers after ‘watching dance music disappear’ in the mid to late 90s.

His love of b-boying, Latin music, and character comedy inspired him to create an irreverent music-driven show to help him showcase his burgeoning talents as a singer, MC, and dancer.

After enrolling Archie ‘Archerio’ Easton (a former champion b-boy and ex-Prodigy dancer), Kengo ‘Kengo San’ Oshima (a dance student and earnest wrong-man), and most recently Domenico, the four-piece has blurred fact and fiction with music, comedy and dancing – journeying on a foray of fun and funky action.
