Ask Blue Met founder Linda Leith why she made Spanish the third official language of our festival, and she'll tell you: because you can’t have a fiesta without it! So put your books in your bag for a moment, take out your dancing shoes, and come
celebrate el español with Colombian Montrealer multi-instrumentalist Ramón Chicharrón and his band, ¡porque es hora de bailar! A key player in the Canadian Latin alternative music scene, his dynamic sound is a testament to his commitment to blending genres and crafting music that invites listeners on a journey through vibrant rhythms and heartfelt lyrics. With influences spanning Latin and Caribbean rhythms, Ramón’s music is both a celebration and a fusion of his diverse cultural heritage. What better way to wrap up the first day of the festival — or shall we say, fiesta?
The first part of the event will pay tribute to the renowned Nehiyaw (Cree) writer from the Treaty 8 territory in Canada, Darrel J. McLeod. In this heartfelt homage, we celebrate his voice and his spirit by singing along to his rendition of Tom Jobim's Corcovado, improved in Santo Domingo while attending the Centroamérica Cuenta festival, to the delight of his fans and friends in the Caribbean.
Dedicado a la memoria y espíritu do nosso saudoso Darrel J. McLeod (13 July 1957 — 29 August 2024)
