MOVIMIENTO! - The Urban Latino funk, hip hop and reggaeton explosion
THURSDAY JULY 14 – AUGUST 18
Small World Music and Lula Lounge present a six week-series of the next wave of the Nuevo Latino Movement. Across the Americas, young musicians in urban centres such as New York City, Cartegena, São Paulo and Havana are simultaneously exploring the fusion of traditional Latin and Brazilian rhythms and melodies with contemporary rock, funk, hip hop, jazz, techno, and reggae. The huge success of Reggaeton artists such as Daddy Yankee and Ivy Queen as well as Mexican born singer composer Manu Chao points to the power of these hybrid latin forms. Toronto's own incredible diversity makes our city the ideal crucible for the exchange of musical influences that characterize the Latin Alternative Movement. Movimiento is the musical combustion of "las calles de Toronto."
