Tempo Latino Festival, South France

Its Salsa Time in the South of France

Watch out, the 2008 edition of Tempo Latino Festival is organized as a return to the source, with the appearances of several artists who have already appeared at the festival in earlier years, (like WIllie Colon, Son Reinas, Cachao, Maraca and Africando), and, as with preceding years, the can't-miss event, the exceptional show of an artist who is so rare on the French salsa scene that we can't remember having seen him here before, Yomo Toro himself!

And that is without taking into account the arrival of one of the most fabulous vocalists in the world, Candido Fabre, the man who is capable of holding an auditorium in suspense for more that five hourse without once repeating the same rhyme !

But Vic, as it's known among friends, is more than artistic program on the main stage alone (although the line up is in itself a reason to make the trip!). There's more…

To describe Vic by the concerts in the arena would be to commit a great mistake in appreciation of what the festival is really about.

Vic is, during the course of four days at the end of July, the world-wide capital of the hispanophone Caribbean countries, of salsa, of good food, and conviviality.

It is no mistake if there artists keep coming back for more.
