Arts festival brings a Latin flavor to Beijing

The music of Latin America and the Caribbean wowed audiences in Beijing across 22 performances held between May 23 and 26. Featuring a variety of music styles, such as reggae, rock and folk, the performances were part of the ongoing 19th Meet in Beijing Arts Festival — the capital's largest annual festival.

Over a hundred musicians from countries, including Mexico, Peru, Chile and Argentina joined in the carnival. As well as live performances, artists from those countries also held workshops and shared their cuisine.

The Latin America and the Caribbean festival has been part of the Meet in Beijing Arts Festival for six years.
