Since 2019, Radical Sounds Latin America (RSLA) has been a multifaceted initiative encompassing an annual non-profit music festival, a digital platform, and a space for encounters and crossovers between Latin America and the different diasporic realities in Europe. Rooted in LATAM, with its multiple contexts and shared feelings, our mission is to highlight experimental artists and researchers from its various regions.
Con todo corazón, com todo o coração, this year we celebrate the 6th edition of RSLA. Over the course of 6 days, we will share, reconfigure, and explore sound, music, performance, and intentioned dialogues about the structures that affect us and ignite us as diasporic entities in connection with Latin America. We come together to simmer and boil because we see no other option or way forward of sharing music than to sound out glimpses that shake us and remind us of the different possibilities beyond this crumbling present. We gather to reconfigure space through resonance, by allowing ourselves to experience and create moments in openness, without oppressive molds. Spaces where hearts burn, voices cry out, and bodies dance.
For our closing event, DJ Edna Martínez will open the night and dancefloor with a heart-pounding, percussive set, followed by the EU debut of Peruvian DJ and producer Parzubanil (Sacrilejio), whose punchy, dancefloor-focused tracks offer the perfect dembow-driven rhythmic intensity. The night will continue to escalate with the unmistakable sounds of “LA GRA$A” from Bclip, followed by Toccororo, who will deliver an energetic set embracing the darkest side of Latin electronic music, traversing through Ballroom, Jersey Club, and Hard Style. To close, AMANTRA, will blend eclectic, polyrhythmic tracks across genres and a wide range of BPMs.
