 Camden’s annual festival celebrating the passion, beauty and diversity of Latin American music’
Following the immense success of last year’s event, live music venue, Green Note, is proud to announce its second Festival of Latin Music, which will run from 13th June -5th July 2008. This unique event, with its vibrant and eclectic line-up, will feature key exponents of Latin American music from around the world, as well as showcasing the cream of London’s Latin musicians.
During this time, Green Note will play host to a wide range of styles – from the traditional to the contemporary- with many different Latin American countries and genres represented: from indigenous folk music, utilising traditional instruments, classic styles such as Argentinean tango and Brazilian Samba, to upbeat Salsa and Cuban grooves, guaranteed to induce all manner of dancing, hand-clapping and heel-stamping! Some acts will explore contemporary, fusion styles, where music from other cultures is combined with traditional Latin influences - expect the innovative, the experimental and above all, the unexpected!

"Bob is a born storyteller. This man could put Shakespeare to shame. And that voice! Does he gargle gravel and honey for breakfast? Whatever, it works. Not only could Bob charm the birds from the trees, he could have them singing backing vocals for free if he wanted. We appreciate real talent in the North East- so we love Bob! -- Julia Hankin
presenter, The Julia Hankin Show, BBC Radio Newcastle
