La Linea returns for another year in April and London’s annual Latin American music festival is keeping with tradition and already flaunting an impressive line-up of artists from across the Atlantic.
This year’s bill sees a big return for cuban pianist and bandleader Eliane Correa. Tipped as the ‘new voice of Latin Jazz in the UK’ she’s set to light up regular La Linea stomping ground Rich Mix on 29th April.
Another set to take the festival by storm is Colombian folk legend Totó La Momposina. Revered as a national icon back home, she’ll be bringing her majestic voice and the grooves of her tambores to the grand depths of Cadogan Hall on 28th April.
Also on the lineup:
Julieta Venegas
Future Latin Sounds
Orkesta Mendoza (Who will also be doing a special La Linea UK tour)
António Zambujo sings Chico Buarque
Estopa
Violetta’s Last Tango
The festival will run from 18-29 April. You can see more info on the official site here.
