Recensie
Latin Village · 6 april 2008
In 2005 werd LatinVillage als eerste latin festival een groot succes. Het werd zo’n groot succes dat er in 2007 een indoor versie werd gelanceerd in de Westergasfabriek. De derde LatinVillage-cd is in het thema van deze eerste indoor editie en bestaat uit drie cd’s die je elk op hun eigen manier opzwepen met hun latin beats.
