La Linea Festival Unveils Dynamic Lineup Featuring Baque Luar, Domenico Lancellotti, and Nacao Zumbi.

La Linea - The London Latin Music Festival – has unveiled a second wave of shows for its twenty-fourth edition this April. Celebrating all corners of the diverse and increasingly popular Latin music world, this year’s event will host an array of specially curated shows across the Capital from 12 - 22 April. The biggest celebration of Latin music and culture in London will this year welcome to the Jazz Café on Saturday 20 April Desta French & Friends as part of Latinas of London - a line-up of independent Latina artists who weave their Latin American heritage and British upbringing into their own unique form of music influenced by jazz, hip hop and cumbia.

Frequent collaborators, and two of Rio de Janeiro’s most forward-thinking musicians, Domenico Lancellotti and Ricardo Dias Gomes bring a brand new Rio samba sound with elements of funk and psychedelia to Cafe Oto on 21 April while fellow Brazilians, and one of the most important groups to come out of the Manguebeat movement in the 1990s, Nacao Zumbi play the Jazz Café on 22 April experimenting with rock, punk, funk, hip hop, soul, Pernambuco’s regional rhythms and other forms of Brazilian traditional music. The newly announced acts join the likes of multimillion album-selling Norteño group Los Tigres del Norte (performing their first ever UK show), Mexican-American singer-songwriter and one of the most influential artists in Latin America Lila Downs, Argentinian Nu Cumbia singer-songwriter La Yegros presenting her combination of electronica and psychedelic sounds with musical traditions from Argentinian culture.
