Canto Latino: Alma del Sur

Canto Latino is an annual outdoor festival that brings together youth across Uniting Voices programs and the Chicago community for a celebration of the city's proud Latin American heritage through song, story and dance.

This year's Canto Latino brings music from South America to the forefront. Singers from our Neighborhood Choir Program will come together to perform different staples of music like samba (Brazil), mapalé (Colombia), morenada (Bolivia), joropo (Venezuela) and many more. The concert will feature classic folk songs as well as contemporary music that celebrates the national identities of different South American countries. In addition to on-stage performances, the festival features food, activities, and connections with various local businesses and cultural representatives. We look forward to an exciting day of song, dance and community!
