In addition to promoting and DJing at the top jazz venues in Leeds, Chico has also played at the Jazz Cafe (London), the Jazz Rooms (Brighton), Rhythm Rooms (Sheffield), Jelly Jazz (Plymouth), La Belle Angele (Edinburgh) and many more.
Leeds' musical landscape would not be the same without this man and it is a great honour for myself to have him working with us on the Hi-life team.
Chico has an extensive knowledge of all styles of Latin music, both contemporary and classic and has brought many of the greats to Leeds in his capacity as a promoter.
He is also an avid Blue Note and Prestige jazz collector - basically what he doesn't know about jazz isn't worth knowing! despite many years top level DJing (his hair is a little greyer than in the picture!) he has lost non of his enthusiasm for music and the art of dance floor shaking.

...Thank you so much for the fabulous job you did of DJing at our wedding last week - we (and all our guests) particularly LOVED our club room!!! Everyone said they felt as if they were back in a club in the good old days
