La Linea – The London Latin Music Festival returns this April with a dynamic mix of rising stars and global superstars from the Latin music world.
Celebrating its 17th anniversary, La Linea was created by Como No in 2001 to showcase the Latin contribution to the wider musical world and to celebrate new artists, new collaborations and new projects. La Linea also recognises and celebrates London’s growing status as one of the world’s great Latin cities, home to many Latin artists and a hungry and diverse audience.
La Linea takes place each April in a range of venues across central London, from clubs to concert halls, presenting genre crossing sounds from Mexico, traditional music from Colombia, youthful rock/rumba from Spain, new jazz sounds from Cuba, Argentinian tango fused with opera and dance, psychedelic indie-mambo from the US/Mexico border lands and future Latin-electronica from London.
