The fourth Latin American Music Festival in Israel featuring Many artists from Cuba, Brazil, Argentina, Portugal, Spain, The Netherlands and Israel with Performances of Latin music and South American music – including the best hits of all time!
Dear audience — lovers of Latin and South American music,
The fourth “Latino-America” Festival is happening! For those who enjoy and value culture, and music in particular, you are all invited to enjoy the rhythm and joy together with the sadness and romance that is Latin American music. Come and enjoy the sounds of Salsa, Samba, Bolero, Bossa Nova, Son – and other wonderful Latin and South American rhythms.
14 artists from around the world – Peru, Spain, Cuba, Mexico, the Netherlands, Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela – together with over 80 leading artists from Israel’s Latin music scene, bringing the infectious, moving and passion-filled sounds of Latin music straight to Tel Aviv–Jaffa for three days of rhythm and passion!
Tributes to Mercedes Sosa and the legendary Celia Cruz, the Brazilian music of Stan Getz alongside a Brazilian samba celebration in the show “Pais Tropical.”
A tribute to the timeless Buena Vista Social Club, the unforgettable “Misa Criolla,” and many more exciting and moving styles.
Come and enjoy togetherness, music that lifts the spirit — come and show your support for the dozens of artists who arrive at the festival to make us all feel good at heart.
We look forward to seeing you at three days of the Fourth Latino-American Festival.
As always, we await you with great love,
