The Bamba festival exudes Latinidad and regional power. The inaugural edition of the event will take place on October 24 and 25 at Parque O’Higgins and features a lineup of living legends on the continent.
The festival brings together figures of the caliber of Marc Anthony, the most influential voice of salsa; Juanes, a Colombian reference who has shaped the course of Latin music since the early 21st century; and Fito Páez, an essential figure of Spanish-language rock, a multi-platinum exponent of the Argentine catalog. Joining them is Carlos Vives, the man who transformed the Colombian sound by projecting it globally through the fusion of heritage and avant-garde of vallenato.
The local scene stands out with Los Vásquez, a fundamental duo of Chilean popular songbook with an unmistakable sound identity, along with Álvaro Henríquez & Pettinellis, bastions of national rock. The international lineup adds Jovanotti, a rhythmic link with Europe; the power of Orishas, chroniclers of Cuban hip hop; and the festive energy of Ráfaga, top exponents of cumbia.
The program also includes the innovative proposal of Bomba Estéreo — following their success Astropical with Rawayana —, the feeling of iLe, the lyrical pen of Coti, and the classic essence of Los Pericos. The lineup is completed by new talents such as Elena Rose, Gale, Çantamarta, Aura Bae, and Catalina y Las Bordonas de Oro, along with notable projects like Conociendo Rusia, the band of Mateo Sujatovich awarded at the Gardel Awards.
This is how both days will be divided:
On the other hand, Bamba will celebrate Latin identity with various stimuli: gastronomy and cocktails inspired by the flavors of Latin America, offering a unique perspective of each show. “The experience is lived without restrictions: all passes allow enjoying cocktails during live shows, eliminating barriers so that toasts and music happen simultaneously,” says a statement from the organizers.
The text continues: “Each space is designed to experience the festival your way. The options range from the freedom of the Bamba Pass to roam the park, to the exclusive services of the Club Bamba Pass by Latam Airlines and the La Terraza Pass by Cenco Malls.”
As an additional benefit, the Club Bamba Pass from LATAM Airlines and the La Terraza Pass from Cenco Malls now include a seat in the Club Zone. Each type of pass will have an assigned sector, and the use of seats will be on a first-come, first-served basis between shows. In this way, attendees will have the option to comfortably enjoy the shows seated or standing from the Club Zone, located next to the Banco de Chile stage.
With two main stages of free access, ample rest areas, and smooth routes, the festival proposes a renewed approach, integrating various spaces: the Mercado Mestizo, dedicated to art and crafts; Cocinerías with flavors from all over Latin America; El Comedor by Lipton Ice Tea, to enjoy gastronomy calmly; La Cantina, the ideal meeting point for toasting; and the Picnic area, designed to relax among blankets and deck chairs.
