Also on the list are Adanowsky, Ozomatli, Ximena Sariñana, Skatalites, Cuca, Cultura Profética, Inspector and La Gusana Ciega.
Thanks to a partnership with Amazon Music, for the fourth consecutive year, performances from Mexico’s longest running music festival will be streamed on the digital platform in uninterrupted broadcasts.
Since its inception in 1998, the Ibero-American Festival of Musical Culture, better known as Vive Latino, has maintained its reputation as an event that challenges expectations. It was the first to include pop, reggaeton, cumbia and Mexican regional music artists in its lineup; it has hosted a four-day edition; incorporated English-language bands to the biggest rock en español celebration; and became the first Latin American festival to have its own edition in Spain.
Affectionately called El Vive by its fans, the festival debuted on Nov. 28-29, 1998, at the Foro Sol (now Estadio GNP Seguros) in Mexico City. Since then, it has taken place every year except in 1999, 2002 and 2021, the latter due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
