Latin American and Russian artists of various genres will perform on the Main Stage — from contemporary pop music to national dances. Festival guests will see a jazz performance, Argentine dance folklore, jazz performed by the Cuban Hot Havana Orchestra, bachata and merengue by an orchestra from the Dominican Republic, and vocal numbers by an opera singer from Ecuador. The Brazilian percussion school Samba Real will perform the very same authentic samba that can only be heard at the carnival in Rio de Janeiro. Artists from Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Nicaragua, and other Latin American countries will also perform for festival guests.
