Latin Quarter, a British band formed in 1983, originated from Liverpool and London. The group was founded by Steve Skaith, who left his job as a printer to pursue music, and keyboard player Steve Jeffries. Their initial breakthrough came with the release of "Radio Africa" in September 1984, which became a top 20 single in the UK in early 1986. The band's debut album, Modern Times, was released on Rockin’ Horse Records in 1985 and featured political lyrics written by Mike Jones. Despite only spending two weeks on the UK Albums Chart, peaking at Number 91, it achieved significant success in Germany and Sweden. In February 1986, Latin Quarter embarked on a European tour and performed at notable festivals such as Glastonbury and the Rock for Peace Festival in East Berlin. Their follow-up album, Mick And Caroline, was released in 1987. The band continued to release albums, including Swimming Against the Stream (1989) and Nothing Like Velvet (1990), which featured unreleased demos and live tracks. After a hiatus, Latin Quarter reunited in 2011 with original members Steve Skaith, Yona Dunsford, Greg Harewood, and Steve Jeffries, releasing albums such as Ocean Head (2012) and Tilt (2014).
