The second is " the largest encounter with current Latin American music in Europe ", and will have talks and round table on music, new technologies, entrepreneurship and internationalization, as well as networking spaces. And the third, the one has filled the city with artists and cinema from Wednesday, will give atmosphere to Bilbao with free events with groups like Vegetal Sound, Bigott or Carlos Sadness.
