Ahmed Dickinson & Los Chichanos Bring Cuban Guitar and Latin Rhythms to Under Canvas
Netsounds’ Alan Cruickshank was at Eden Court’s Under Canvas on Friday 24 July 2026 to capture two contrasting performances that highlighted the breadth of this year’s summer programme.
Ahmed Dickinson opened the evening with a captivating display of Cuban guitar, combining outstanding technical skill with expressive, melodic performances rooted in the rich musical traditions of his homeland. His intimate set showcased the artistry that has earned him recognition as one of the leading performers of the Cuban Guitar Movement.
The energy lifted with Los Chichanos, whose vibrant blend of Peruvian cumbia, chicha, Afro-Latin rhythms, Cuban son and Brazilian grooves transformed the space into a celebration of tropical sounds. The Edinburgh collective delivered an infectious performance full of colour, rhythm and feel-good energy, bringing a memorable close to the evening.
Check out the photos below that capture some of the highlights from another fantastic night at Under Canvas, Eden Court’s summer festival, which continues to bring an exciting mix of music, theatre and live performance to Inverness throughout the season.
Under Canvas continues at Eden Court until 30 August, with an eclectic programme of live music, theatre, spoken word and family events. Tickets are available on a Pay What You Can basis, with multi-buy savings available when booking three or more sessions.
