WE REMEMBER

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Richard Fixon-Owoo, everyone called him Tito, who left us on 11th July 2025. A devoted family man and a loyal friend to many, Tito was a special person whose generosity and vibrant spirit touched everyone he met.

Whether sharing a joke, offering a listening ear, or lending a helping hand, Tito made everyone feel like they mattered.

Tito's passion for salsa, particularly Cuban Timba, and Notting Hill Carnival led him to dedicate three decades to setting up his own sound system equipment for the Latin Rave Street Jam at Notting Hill Carnival.

In every room he entered, Tito made everything better. His warmth, good humour, and generous spirit will continue to inspire all who loved him. As we come to terms with this loss, we will find comfort in the wonderful memories we shared.

We miss him dearly. Rest in peace, dear Tito. You will always be remembered.

Remembering Dave Hucker

We lost our friend Dave Hucker in 2023.

DJ Dave Hucker was the founder of Sol y Sombra on Charlotte Street in the early 1980s, where he introduced London to his eclectic sets that spanned tropical rhythms, jazz, R&B, and funk - those nights were something special. He went on to share his passion for Latin music at Ronnie Scott's, Cuba in High Street Kensington, Villa Stefano's in Holborn, and became a popular fixture at Notting Hill Carnival's Latin Rave Street Jam Sound System for around thirty years, bringing his music to people all over London.

Dave was not only a DJ but also a local historian and a loving family man who mattered to so many of us.

He is deeply missed, but his musical legacy and the joy he brought to everyone who heard him play will stay with us.

Rest in peace, dear Dave. Your memory lives on in all of us.
