LatinoLife Incubators

Latino Life Incubators are UK industry events for all those with a professional interest in the creation, promotion and distribution of Latin Music. They include panel discussion, Q&A, networking session and live music showcases (view gallery below). A chance for artists, promoters, venue managers, festival curators, labels, distributors and media to rub shoulders, get inspired, share ideas and experiences and make big plans.

 "The Incubator showcases are away of putting talent on our radar," says Jose Luis, the UK's top Latin Music curator (LatinoLife in the Park, the UK's largest Latin Music Festival, SxSW London, Lambeth Country Show). "Many of the performers who end up playing at our festival, we discovered first at one of our Incubators." 

One beneficiary, Yxng Dave, went from Incubator performer in January 2025 to to performing at SXSW London, Lambeth Country Show, Latino Life in the Park and opening for Nanpa Basico and then chosen to be on LatinoLife's Talent Development Programme, which took him to Colombia on a media tour. "I performed on 10 national TV and radio shows in 3 days, participated in a songwriting camp in Medellín and recording sessions with Colombian artists, some extremely well known with a total of 11 songs being recorded. I also met with J Balvin’s management and has been invited back in 2026 on a club tour. None of this would have happened if I hadn't performed at that Incubator in 2025."
