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.
Our third event begins with the screening of a documentary on the non-conventional recording process of the Brazilian grindcore band TEST’s album Disco Normal (73 min). Afterwards, the concert series kicks off with Brazilian sound artist and experimental flutist Marina Cyrino, who shapes sound using techniques developed through internal amplification. She will be followed by LAMB K305, who redefines body horror into a live sonic experience and collective ecstatic exorcism. Next, renowned metal drummer Iggor Cavalera, of the legendary band Sepultura, joins grindcore band TEST. This world premiere collaboration will take the audience on an intense journey, blending noise, voice, drumming, guitar, and electronics. Throughout the night, we will be nurtured by various rhythms of LATAM thanks to DJs sin serif and Kali, who will each guide us through their Delirios, reconnecting with roots through futuristic sounds.
