DIG out those Cuban heals and relax into that Latin American beat in preparation for a red hot musical experience.

Winter will be well and truly on the run when Cuban singer Addys D'Mercedes brings her warm, soulful sound to Forum 28, Barrow, this weekend.

This Sunday, the venue will be alive with the sound of Addys with her five-piece band, bringing a treasure chest of Cuban musical bounty - shot through with musical styles and influences from across the globe.

Listen out for her self-styled hymn Yemaya - a tribute to the african roots in Salsa and the Brazilian-ballad influenced melancholic Bolero Tu Vanidad.

The performer's latest album Mundo Nuevo undertakes a musical journey between her childhood in South America and her early years in Europe.

Based on up-tempo Latin grooves her music reflects the emotions of a young girl encountering different worlds and oscillates between winter in Europe and memories of her tropical home.

Stylish, witty and authentic, her performance promises to be a rare delight of steamy sounds with very danceable beats.

Following the boom in the Latin music scene, D'Mercedes could well be destined for future stardom.

She's got the looks, the moves, and this girl knows her cha cha from her rumba.

Catch her now while you can.

On the evening there will be cabaret-style seating and tickets cost £8, concessions £ 6.
