Female-led Latin music fest Ruidosa brought the party to Lincoln Center (pics)
Ruidosa, which bills itself as the first fully female-led Latin American music festival, held its first ever US edition on Saturday (8/10), a free one-day takeover event as part of Lincoln Center‘s Summer for the City series. Bebel Gilberto, Buscabulla, festival founder Francisca Valenzuela, Nella, iLE, Salt Cathedra, Mireya Ramos, Bruses, Riobamba, and Renée Goust and Khylie Rylo performed at three different stages across the Lincoln Center campus, Damrosch Park, Hearst Plaza, and the Dance Floor, throughout the day. Kicking off the afternoon was a panel discussion, “Latinx to the Front: Nuestro Ruido Is Worldwide,” moderated by audio engineer and radio producer Jeanne Montalvo, and featuring YouTube’s Stephanie Carvajal, Sirius XM’s Ellen Flores, Rolling Stone‘s Julyssa Lopez, Amazon Music’s Angie Romero, and Billboard Español‘s Sigal Ratner-Arias and Isabela Raygoza.
