The UK’s largest Latin Music festival returns for its 8th year on Saturday 20 July to West London’s Walpole Park in honour of UK’s largest Latin community
LatinoLife In The Park Festival has built a stellar reputation as the UK’s leading programmer of authentic, quality Latin music and creator of unique family-friendly experiences. For the first time ever, London’s annual Latin fiesta falls on Colombian Independence Day. Delivering the celebration the capital’s largest Latin community deserves, from Buena Ventura, Colombia, living salsa legend Jimmy Saa lights up the Main Stage with his band alongside Dorance Lorza on vibes.
The maestro of salsa infused with folk from the Pacifico, who honed his craft with Grupo Niche, La Octava Dimensión and La Suprema Corte, culminates a day of homegrown Colombian talent Desta French, Classico Latino, Jari Castillo, The Indios, Latyno Bbi and award-winning producer and songwriter, Dukus, who hosts a soundclash of London’s freshest urban talent fusing reggaeton, afrobeats, rap, soul and grime.
As well as the Main Stage, LatinoLife In The Park’s Fiesta Stage hosts one of the largest non-stop dance parties fuelled by London’s finest Latin DJs playing the biggest Latin bangers and anthems from across the salsa, reggaeton, bachata, Latin house and Baile Funk styles. Don’t forget your dancing shoes.
Celebrated for their immersive experiences, LLITP 2024 curates two expanded areas. Hosted by Yanet Fuentes, Cuba Linda transports festival goers to the Latin Caribbean with live rumba music and Cuban percussion and dance workshops taking place throughout the day. Plus a great selection of Cuban cocktails and food such as the island’s famed ropa vieja (shredded beef) and cuban sandwiches.
At ‘Viva Mexico’ guests can soak up the sounds and spirit of the Aztec and Mayan nations, with dance parades, mariachi bands and Lucha Libre wrestling shows. Sample Mexican food and drinks specialities including a Tequila bar and taco stall.
