Illapu is one of the biggest Latin American Folk bands in the world, and LUMA Creations is honoured to host them while they perform their only UK date at the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Hall on Sunday the 15th of October. Prepare for your soul to be taken on a captivating journey through the Andes and the lands of Latin America, while they sing songs of life, love, justice and the preservation of the environment and all its inhabitants.
Supporting Illapu is Liverpool’s very own, Grupo Luma. Led by Chilean brothers Francisco & Oscar Carrasco who came to the UK in 1975 as exiles from the military dictatorship. Grupo Luma fuses many genres with powerful rhythms and melodies of struggle and solidarity, presenting a beautiful mixture of Chilean and Latin American protest songs as well as original compositions.
This concert marks the 50th anniversary of the military coup in Chile and in commemorating this and presenting one of Chile’s most treasured exports, Luma Creations pays homage to all those who were lost and all those who fought and stood shoulder to shoulder with the Chilean refugees scattered across the globe.
In bringing the legendary Illapu to present the only concert in the UK, we celebrate everyone’s right to live in peace.
