Latir Festival
By Charlotte Stace
One of the most exciting things about Barcelona is its multiculturalism, with influences from all continents across the globe. In particular, the city has strong ties with Latin America. This influence is felt not only in terms of culture and cuisine, but also in music, with some of the city’s biggest venues playing host to the continent’s most talented artists.
An event that celebrates this connection is Latir Festival - a platform set up to promote the connection between Latin America and Catalunya through music and community. As part of its closing celebration, this mini music festival brings together a mix of artists.
The lineup? The evening features: a performance by the legendary Colombian rock and heavy metal band Kraken; pop singer-songwriter Sol Pereyra; and emerging acts Yooko and Folkloreta, offering fresh takes on Latin music. The night will be complemented by DJ sets from Huex and Karim, who blend cumbia, electronic and tropical sounds.
