Working for the Advancement of Latin American Arts & Culture in the UK
As Part of the Celebrations of the
LATIN AMERICAN BICENTENARY CELEBRATIONS
*****
Summer is the season for Carnivals and Festivals and one of the busiest periods for us at Ola Latina, after months of planning, designing and preparations behind the scenes, we can launch our programme of events for this period, brought together under one banner CLAVE LATINA FEST!
We're delighted to break the news about this new project we've been working on for the past months; it's a new music and dance Festival launched on such an important year for Latin America and the Latin American diasporas around the world, 2010 marks the Bicentennial celebrations of the birth of the Latin American continent. Clave Latina Fest aims to enrich people's experience and relationnship with one of the most loved cultural and artistic expressions of Latin American culture and way of life around the world.
Clave Latina Fest organised as part of Big Dance 2010 and the festivities in London marking the Bicentenary of the Latin American republics, is an event celebrating the world heritage of Latin music and dance. The Festival will highlight and promote the rich cultural, artistic and historical aspects of these popular expressions, with a particular interest and emphasis on the contemporary music and dance genre known as Salsa, its history and development. Such important aspects mentioned above, have given this popular idiom authenticity, significance and strength to survive and preserve a tradition avoiding marked adaptations and degenerations, despite new trends in modern times. Clave Latina Fest aims to bring to the attention of the general public the most important values of a popular cultural expression, developed within Latin culture and which has attained a universal validity and respect throughout the world.
The Festival will take place in important cultural venues, showing such richness through lectures, films and videos, music and dance workshops, live music and dance events. The Festival will pay a special tribute to Edmundo Ros, pioneer since the late 1930’s and the most prestigious Latin music celebrity in the UK who will be 100 years old in 2010.
