Tempo Arena programming

BERNARD LAVILLIERS

21:00 - 22:30 | Arena

On the road at a dozen festivals, Bernard and his six exceptional musicians return with a new project based on the album "O'Gringo". Bernard returns to his roots for a musical journey through immediate hits and cult favorites: O'Gringo, Stand the ghetto, La salsa, Traffic, Attention fragile, Sertao...

LA EXCELENCIA

23:30 - 01:00 | Arena

It only takes a note or two to realize that La Excelencia is different. It's uninterpreted salsa dura, with full-on percussion, lots of breaks, strong, almost distorted vocals. "It's the sound of a hard-working band, the kind that used to be found all over New York and are now rare to find," explains Peter Watrous of the New York Times.

At church on Sunday

ROLANDO LUNA &AMP; MAIKEL DINZA

16:00 - 17:30 | Saint-Pierre Church

"Por Nosotros" is the title of a sumptuous association, a show created around an album by two of the most important artists in contemporary Cuban music over the last 10 years, Rolando Luna (Latin Grammy Award for best album of traditional tropical music, featured on over 200 albums) and Maikel Dinza (Victoire de la musique cubaine 2021).

Around the tempo

MATINALES DE LA CONGA

11:00 - 13:00 | LA CONGA

The festival's second largest stage after the Arènes, nearly 200 bands have been featured over the past 25 years. From 11.00 a.m. we wake up to a "Latin-tropical" world tour hosted by the Conga DJs.

LOS WEMBLER'S

12:30 - 14:00 | CAP TEMPO

Los Wembler's is the legendary band from Iquitos, the capital of Peru's Amazon region. The Sanchez family who make up the group have never stopped living and playing. They are pioneers of Amazonian Cumbia, and played an essential role in the Chicha movement of the 1970s.

CONCERT - CHILDREN'S WORKSHOP

16:00 - 17:00 | LA CONGA

an introduction to percussion and singing for children and teenagers. It has two objectives:
- To introduce them to rhythmic diversity, by letting them experiment with different Afro-Cuban instruments.
- To awaken their sensibilities through singing and the Afro-Cuban Latin language.

Children's fair

Open to all, meet at the Rincon Ethiquable (to the left of the conga stage).

FERNANDO CAVACO

18:00 - 19:30 | CAP TEMPO

From an early age, he was immersed in the rich tradition of samba and choro (the chamber music at the origin of samba). For over fifteen years, he has brought a new, rhythmic sound to forró and roda de samba, and an innovative register far removed from the clichés of a glitzy Brazil.

BLACK VOICES &AMP; GUTS

00:00 - 00:30 | LA CONGA

Ever since hip hop broke into his life somewhere in the '80s, Guts has devoted all his time and energy to it. Black Voices has the ability to take us on a journey greater than the Guide du Routard. From the 60s to the present day, stopovers in Afro, Caribbean, Latin, soul, salsa, funk and Brazilian rhythms.

TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT

00:30 - 02:00 | LA CONGA

Together, they wrote and recorded an album "Anyankofo" in Accra, Ghana, which was released on April 15, 2022. The album features some of Ghana's biggest stars such as Pat Thomas, Rocky Dawuni and Kwame Yeboah, as well as rising stars Asi Renie and Worlasi.

BLACK VOICES COMBO

02:00 - 03:30 | LA CONGA

Tempo Latino & eco-responsibility.

Eco-responsibility at Tempo Latino is nothing new, and the Festival has been working in this direction for several years. To support us in this approach, we called on the Élémen'terre Association, commissioned by the Occitanie Region to set up the "Événements Détonnants" label for eco-responsible events in Occitanie.

Here's our eco-responsibility retrospective:

Since 1996:
Eco-decoration of the Festival using recycled materials (psychedelic palms made from plastic bottles and sheaths, cork garlands, wooden and bamboo casas...). Eco-decoration workshops.

Since 2000:
Risk prevention stand: hearing prevention (distribution of ear plugs, children's helmets, prevention of risky behavior / breathalyser).

Since 2002:
Selective waste sorting: tric skips and used oil recycling.
Sustainable tableware for catering.

Since 2008:
Transport of festival-goers via our Shuttle service from Toulouse, Auch and Agen to Vic-Fezensac as well as the Navetitas which serve 20 communes around the Festival.

Since 2009:
Recyclable glasses

Since 2018:
Biodegradable apple gelatin straws 100% organic and 100% biodegradable.

Since 2022:
Energy savings: renewal of the fleet of bulbs and LED garlands.
No plastic bottles are sold in the Festival bars, and water fountains are available to the public.

We've come a long way, but we're committed to keeping up the good work....

What is an explosive event?
It's an event that contrasts with current event proposals, a committed and responsible event. Committed to reducing its environmental impact, it federates and mobilizes its teams, partners and audiences around issues of ecological and societal transition, and gives itself the means to deploy a global, structured and continuously improving eco-responsible approach. It's also, logically, an event that de-tunes, since it reduces its carbon emissions, waste, energy consumption and the resources used for its staging. And it's an event that amazes, by proposing to experiment with ecological and societal transition in new, more sustainable and inclusive forms!
