LatinoLife in the Park took place on Saturday 20th July. The main stage celebrated Colombian Independence Day, with Jimmy Saa headlining a stellar cast of homegrown Colombian talent. Our Fiesta Stage was a non-stop dance party fuelled by London's finest Latin DJs. Meanwhile 'Cuba Linda', hosted by Yanet Fuentes and Lazaro Lopez, transported festival goers to the Latin Caribbean with live rumba music and Cuban percussion and dance workshops. At ¡Viva Mexico! guests soaked up the sounds and spirit of the Mayan nation with dance parades, mariachi and Lucha Libre wrestling. OUR BIGGEST AND BEST FESTIVAL YET, we are proud to have one of the most diverse festival  audiences in the UK. Seeing the glowing, smiling, laughing crowd danc through the day and night makes all the hard work worth while.see you next year!
