Carnaval del Pueblo

2012

at Burgess Park

Europe’s biggest Latin Festival is back on for 2012 in good old London Town.

The carnival de pueblo has a history of attracting world class stars and Grammy Prize winners such as Grupo Niche, Oscar D’León, Willie Colón, Adalberto Santiago, Gilberto Santa rosa and The Lebron Brothers –the salsa giants–, as well as Lizandro Mesa and The Embajadores Vallenatos, almost God like statures in Latin America, who introduced the highly danceable Cumbia and Vallenato music to the West. It also counts with the presence of a multitude of London and European based artists performing the best of Latino rhythms, bringing pleasure and excitement to all.
Carnival del Pueblo’s main stage where all international artists entertain the public, there is a great diversity of components that make this day an experience of full Latin passion.
These include:
• 4 areas that provide entertainment from Latin America such as Brazil, Andean countries and not forgetting the very popular space for Reggaeton and Latin Hip Hop for the young crowd.

• Large Screen on the sides of the main stage
