March 23, 24 and 25 These are the dates set for the 2017 edition of Estéreo Picnic festival, The event, to be held north of Bogotá, is a high-budget affair that brings together some of the world's most prominent artists. Fans, who have been snapping up tickets for the festival, are primarily talking about the major international stars invited., These include The Weeknd, The Strokes, and Wiz Khalifa, among others. But, a little further down the list of the poster are striking figures from our continent, coming from Puerto Rico, Argentina, Ecuador, Venezuela and, obviously, Colombia.
First and foremost, one of the biggest news stories of the festival is the presence of the great legend of Caribbean folklore, Toto la Momposina. This woman, born in Talaigua Nuevo, department of Bolívar, seventy-six years ago, is, from the beginning, the sound of the Colombian Atlantic coast around the world for several decades. His songs have made audiences on all five continents dance, and, it must be said, It highlights the cultural value of the event, which takes a smart risk in the face of an audience made up of new generations who have more frequently associated with other musical genres.
Latin American artists present at Estéreo Picnic 2017 They bring rock, pop, electronic, hip hop, reggae, punk, blues and contemporary folk. The producers have curated a vibrant lineup that we at Zonagirante.com encourage you to check out from the early hours of each day. Let's be clear: that's what festivals are for—to enjoy variety, the often unfamiliar, and the friendly clash of different sonic intentions. These kinds of parties should be enjoyed from the moment the gates of the venues open until the last spectator leaves.
Below is the playlist with songs from most of the artists from the continent invited to this celebration. Welcome!
