Founded in 2019, Radical Sounds Latin America is a multifaceted initiative encompassing a digital platform, an annual non-profit music festival, and a cultural crossroads located in Berlin. Rooted in the unique terrain and context of Latin America (LATAM), our primary focus has been on cultivating a secure and nurturing meeting point for our multicultural community and a wider audience eager to embrace new ideas and diverse perspectives within the realms of sound, music, art, performance, and activism.
We are delighted to announce that this 2023, Radical Sounds is celebrating its fifth anniversary. Through a dynamic six-day hybrid program, taking place both online and offline, we invite everyone to join us in the exploration and reimagining of sound, music, art, and profound dialogues.
The festival is a testament to the celebration of communal spirit and the elation it brings. We cherish forgotten stories, create new ones, and embrace the enduring legacy of our shared heritage. We are genuinely thrilled to embark on this celebration with you!
The lineup for our closing club night features:
Lila Tirando a Violeta live show kicks off the night with her enigmatic sounds, showing an ability to synthesize and transform an infinite range of influences while still remaining true to her core. Followed by the duo Dengue Dengue Dengue who for more than 10 years haved explored rhythms from Latin, African, and Anglo culture, re-creating them in electronic form by mixing old and new, and analog and digital, resulting in a unique sound accompanied by hand-crafted visuals. The second part of the night will continue escalating with DJ BABATR considered a reflection of the Venezuelan sound that rethinks and reinterprets electronic music from its context and flavour, transgressing pre-established parameters that previously influenced the scene, taking as a starting point genres such as Hard Techno and Ghetto House. Closing is, DJ, music producer, sound artist, radio host, writer and cultural researcher KENYA20HZ from Rio de Janeiro. She stands out for exploring all the possibilities of low frequencies through her rhythmic connections, as well as her research focused on Urban, Experimental and Electronic Music. Since 2016, she has been building her name in the internationl artistic community with simultaneous activities in the areas of Multimedia Research, Technology and Art.
