A WOrld Of SOund Lend an ear to the gLobe-spanning acts of the 10th annuaL Latino Music FestivaL. by Thomas Connors Mainstream names like Enrique Iglesias and Shakira aren't on the bill. But the lineup for this year's Latino Music Festival does include Ensemble Dal Niente and Grammy-nominated Sones de Mexico, performing the classically structured, folk-infused Cantata a Santa María de Iquique, by Luis Advis. More akin to the Aspen Music Festival than Lollapalooza, the Latino Music Festival is a wide-ranging, risk-taking celebration that both delves deeply into the past and showcases work by living composers. Now in its 10th year, the festival has satisfied aficionados and novices alike with program- ming that has run from chamber pieces to tango, and featured such artists as the renowned Paquito D'Rivera and bandoneón virtuoso Julien Labro. "Our concerts strive to represent as many countries, time periods, and ethnicities as possible," says Gustavo Leon, who programs the festival along with Elbio Barilari, co-artistic director. "This vast expanse of music genres, both in regard to stylistic and historic signifi- cance, highlights the festival's philosophy of exploring our past to understand our place in history."
