Press Reviews

El Barrio was well received in various media: from national press titles (The Guardian) to specialised trade press (The Stage, London theatre guide), El Barrio has also been featured in cultural newsletters and magazines (Flavorpill, Time Out) or in the local press (Camden New Journal, Ham&High, Camden Gazette). On top of that, the show has been largely echoed by the online UK salsa community (SalsaRepublic.co.uk; London-salsa.co.uk; Salsa-uk.com…) Read the interview published in Camden Gazette in May 2006!

"Iris de Brito has choreographed an urban tale about an immigrant trying to find their bearings and forge identities in a new city. El Barrio is an authentic Salsa show with dance, song & live percussion."

"Iris de Brito is on a mission to take Salsa onto the West End stage."

"An explosion of Latin rhythms, songs and percussion choreographed by Iris de Brito."

"With spectacular dancing by some of the best talent in the UK and some mesmerising live percussion, El Barrio sends you out of the theatre with more than a small hankering for a Caribbean holiday."
