• An authentic immersive experience of Latin music and culture

• Two unique stages with the hottest new talent from the Latin music scene 

• Includes the Candela Sound System, the only UK festival showcase dedicated to homegrown urban Latin music

The UK’s largest Latin music festival returns on Sat 5 August. After its ‘taster’ stage at the Lambeth Country Show in June, Britain’s ‘Most Inclusive Festival’ sprinkles its unique Latin magic over West London’s Walpole Park (W5) with its authentic Live music, dance troupes, artists, special areas such as Amazonia Village and Little Colombia, food pop ups and bespoke bars for what promises to be the best LatinoLife in the Park yet.

LatinoLife in the Park’s fantastic stages deliver high-quality entertainment, showcasing the best UK-based Latin American, Spanish and Portuguese (Latin) artists as well as exciting international guests. Taking audiences on a journey through salsa, reggaetón, samba, jazz, fusion, folk, funk, Andean, bolero, hip-hop and more, culminating in a party that no-one wants to leave.

On this year’s Main Stage ‘The Voice’ sensation Lucy Calcines is interpreting the anthems of the great Latina Divas – Selena, Celia Cruz, Gloria Estefan and La India – with the phenomenal voice that earned her the show’s most viewed audition ever. Other highlights include high-energy Afro-Cuban funk and a tribute to the folk music of the Andes, and The Candela Sound System presenting the very best homegrown urban Latin talent. For the first time we’ll be dedicating a whole stage to salsa, bachata and merengue at our Viva Tropical Stage.  Full Festival line up to be announced.

More than a festival, LatinoLife is an immersive experience, bringing its reputation for delivering uniquely authentic experiences with quality and diverse artists in stunning venues. Between the stages, guests will stumble upon ‘Little Colombia’, where they’ll find Colombian delicacies – pan de bono, empanadas, papas rellenas, coffee and slush puppies – Aguardiente and Colombian rum cocktail bars, folk dancers and free Colombian salsa lessons. They can get lost in our ‘Amazonia Village’ – a Brazilian corner of music and dance, with Caipirinha bar and Brazilian snacks, free Brazilian percussion workshops, Capoeira demonstrations and amazonian face painting. In addition, there’ll be a massive 300 people folk dance parade representing Latin America’s diverse cultures and the finest Latin American food and drink London has to offer. 

LatinoLife invites you to be part of its wonderful community, express yourself, wear your flag, show your pride, dance like nobody’s watching (or like everybody is watching!), spend quality time with family and friends, find new flavours, be inspired by great music and entertained by stunning dance shows and even…fall in love @ LatinoLife in the Park 2023!

Other notes on what makes LLITP unique 

• The only Latin music festival made and run by Latinos, using their our own lived experience to ensure authentic and high quality Latin music and dance, as opposed to clichéd, low-quality expressions (as say on Strictly). 
• Showcases the diversity of Latin genres within their cultural contexts, not lumped with other so-called ‘World’ music, diluting their meaning and value.
