A night dedicated to Latin American music through the rhythms of Amazonian cumbia. The Latin Connections closing event will celebrate one of the region’s most vibrant and influential genres, exploring its roots, evolution, and continued relevance through film, music, and dialogue.
At the heart of the evening is a screening of the documentary “La Danza de los Mirlos”, which tells the story of the legendary Peruvian band Los Mirlos — pioneers of psychedelic cumbia and cultural icons whose sound still resonates across generations and borders.
