On Saturday it’s party time Latino style! LatinoLife’s ‘Viva Fiesta’ Stage brings the Latino club feel to the Lambeth Country Show. London’s hottest Latin-Caribbean party DJs join performers from the UK’s burgeoning urban Latin scene. Candela Records’ exciting roster of artists fuse London sounds with Latin-Caribbean beats, in a unique hybrid of reggaetón, grime, drill, dancehall, afrobeats, salsa, soul, funk and more. Plus a special showcase of Luso talent in celebration of Portugal Day.

Headliners include Venezuelan Angelo Flow, London’s reggaetón poster-boy still buzzing from his latest release ‘HotSteppa’ with dancehall legend J Spades and Dutch producer Diztortion, plus gifted Tottenham-raised Ecuadorian lyricist Guala and Chilean rapper JDogg.

Celebrating Portugal day, Don Jaga, the OG of the Portuguese music scene in the UK, presents London’s Luso talent.

James Brown meets Irakere is how we describe this electrifying and high-energy Cuban funk band, fronted by Rene Alvarez. The award-winning Santiago-born singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist was Europe’s most sought-after salsa vocalist and bandleader before living his life-long dream of combining his Afro-Cuban roots with his passion for North American funk. Having toured the world with his Salsa outfit, featured in the latest James Bond movie No Time to Die, the smooth operating salsero unleashes his punkster-funkster alter-ego into this sensational 7-piece Cuban band.

Talented singer-songwriter Angélica López brings the grace, charisma and diverse rythmns of Colombia through her powerful fusion of Afro-Colombian sounds and pop, rock. The only female vocalist to be awarded a LUKAS, Angelica has toured with renowned international artists such as Willie Colon & Rey Ruiz, collaborated with Colombian music royalty Herencia de Timbiquí, Fruko and Mayte Montero (gaita player for Carlos Vives) whilst enjoyed recording success with her recent solo album Madremonte.
