Afro Latino Festival
Boasting a stack of musical workshops, performances, and stalls, this family-friendly event aims to educate Sydney siders on the history and spirit of our African-Latino community.
Overview
Fancy learning to drum the bongos or chowing down on rich, authentic African and Latin American grub? After its impressive, crowd drawing debut in 2011, the now-annual Afro Latino Festival will stage the same energetic cultural showcase again this year.
Boasting a stack of musical workshops and performances, arts and craft stalls and even the odd fashion parade, the family-friendly event aims to educate Sydney siders on the history and spirit of our African-Latino community. Kicking off at 11am, folks are also invited to open their ears up to a specially-formed performance ensemble that will demonstrate just how much of the world’s music and dance has been influenced by African performance. Candombe drumming, one of the most vibrant, heart-racing forms of the musical art, will no doubt please the masses and families can also take part in lessons from the colourful local Candombe Urumbe crew throughout the day.
Last year’s event saw over 1000 attendees but something tells us this type of high-energy weekend event will grab even bigger numbers this time around. The party will wrap up at 6pm.
