GROW LIVE: TUMBAITO (LIVE) // PAULA JUANA (DJ) (LATIN, JAZZ, GLOBAL GROOVES)


  • Grow 98c Wallis Road London, England, E9 5LN United Kingdom (map)

A full night of deep live rhythm and late-night dancefloor energy, as Tumabito return home to lead the floor through groove, improvisation and connection, before Soundway’s Paula Juana takes it deeper into a global club journey.

ABOUT THE EVENT

Tumbaito are led by Williams Cumberbache, long-time collaborator, resident and a true cornerstone of the Grow community, the band have become a defining presence on the floor over the years. From weekly canalside sessions to late-night takeovers, Williams has built something that runs deep through the space, rooted in rhythm, connection and a lifetime in music.

They carry that energy forward. A band shaped by decades of experience, blending Afro-Latin rhythms with jazz, funk and improvisation, always guided by Williams’ unmistakable touch on percussion. The result is something alive and constantly shifting, tight but free, locked in but open.

If you’ve been before, you already know how much of a magical gig this is. If not, this is the one to catch. A guaranteed dancefloor, driven by serious musicianship, real connection, and that unmistakable Tumabito pulse.

Closing the night, we welcome Paula Juana with her global sound shaped through years at the heart of Soundway Records. Originally from Colombia, her sets move fluidly through cumbia, salsa and Caribbean rhythms into Afrobeat, highlife, zouk and beyond, always grounded in deep musical knowledge and an instinct for what works in the room.

As Director at Soundway, she’s spent over a decade immersed in some of the most vital sounds from across Africa, Latin America and the diaspora, digging, shaping and releasing records that carry real weight. That depth comes through in her selections, worldly, percussive and built to move. She’s brought that sound to dancefloors across the world, from Glastonbury, We Out Here and Kala Festival to Dimensions in Croatia, as well as key spaces like fabric, EartH, Brilliant Corners and NT’s Loft in London.
