Announcing the 13th Annual Heineken TransAtlantic Festival
By Karla Arguello, The Rhythm Foundation
Thirteen is lucky this year, because it’s the 13th edition of the Heineken TransAtlantic Festival! The annual music event explores modern world music from the great cities of the Atlantic rim – Europe, Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, North America — and features artists working in the beautiful collision between traditional rhythms and electronica/DJ culture. The series pays tribute to Miami as a true modern TransAtlantic capital and crossroad of the Old and New Worlds. The festival has been named “Best Festival” by the Miami New Times among accolades.
This year’s headliners include indie darlings Wild Belle; NYC’s afro-soul big band Budos Band; Chilean hip-hop emcee Ana Tijoux; and Colombia’s rebellious cumbia experimentalists Puerto Candelaria. Local acts My Deer and Bluejay will also be performing at the two-night festival at the North Beach Bandshell on Miami Beach. More artists and events will be announced soon.
