Vive Latino Festival in Mexico City

The Vive Latino Festival kicked off in Mexico City where over 120 bands plan to present. One of the most important events for the Ibero-American music party is the group Centarvs, which appeared on stage at Foro Sol arena to open the 14^th annual festival.

It is expected that some 200,000 music fans are going to attend the event. The event started one day after it was scheduled, after having to be canceled the first day. Andres Sanchez, a promoter for the event told a source, “We have a musical program of more than 120 bands and there’s a lot of South America in it, a lot of Spain, it’s what people ask us for.”

This year features an abundance of Spanish bands like Los Punsetes, Violadores del Verso, Mala Rodriguez, Ska-p and Dorian.

Among the international bands most highly anticipated by attendees is Britain’s Underworld and Blur, the latter taking the stage Saturday night, as well as Argentina’s Los Fabulosos Cadillacs. There will also be some performers as yet unknown in Mexico like the Spanish rapper of Dominican descent, Arianna Puella, and Xoel Lopez.

Mexico City will be filled with an eclectic mix of music as Vive Latino Festival brings thousands out to enjoy the sounds of many different artists.
