From Naucalpan, State of Mexico, the Gama brothers made their debut on the Vive Latino stage, presenting us with a new way of living and feeling cumbia, proclaiming their mantra “cumbia is the new punk”
From the hand of Gerardo Castmu, Erich captivated the public present at the Carpa Intolerante during his first presentation. A list of his most representative songs was sung by those present, until “No Estoy Bien” arrived, an ensign track within the independent scene of Mexican folk.
Although they are already experienced on this stage, for Centavrvs this edition is very special, since they have been in business for a decade, so their setlist covered very important parts of their career, making us dance with their psychedelic mexa cumbia.
From Tijuana, Ramona fulfilled a childhood dream: to be able to play on the Vive Latino stage. Their setlist was full of romanticism, psychedelia, and covers that made their performance chanted by the audience.
A whole Mexica ritual was presented by this band from the State of Mexico; Surrounded by pre-Hispanic instruments, good visuals, and their entire crew, Los Cogelones opened the day on the main stage with their album “Hijos Del Sol”
In 2020 Battle of Champions gave his first presentation at Vive Latino, the last one before the pandemic. Two years later this show shows us the best of freestyle, including the winner of the Batalla de Gallos Aczino and his duo Kódigo.
LOS NO TAN TRISTES
The day of rap and hip hop continued with this project made up of three great exponents: Nanpa Básico, Gera MX and Charles Ans presenting their self-titled album, filling the Claro Música stage with rhymes.
The time came and everyone rushed to the Indio stage. In less than half an hour, Residente packed the space in front of the stage as well as the stands, from the top it was impressive to admire the sea of people chanting: "Esto lo hago pa´divertirme, pa´divertirme" One of the most anticipated presentations after so much controversy.
From Spain, the elegant “De Sobremesa” format was placed on the scene, a Madrilenian in a fine blue suit came out to tell us about how it had evolved over time. Those of us who were there danced flamenco due to the euphoria that the show caused, then when we saw guests like Adriel Favela and Ed Maverick, it was confirmed: “Pucho hermano, ya eres mexicano”
One of the shows that generated the most expectations was the one Ángel Quezada would gave. Impressive audio, impeccable visuals and lighting, and a group of dancers welcomed Santa Fe Klan, who opened the setlist with “Nunca Imaginé” immediately igniting us all at the concert. Hits such as "Socios" alongside Gera MX, "Soledad" and "Debo entender" were added to this presentation, a performance that will remain for posterity.
