Movimientos is an organisation created to bring together and give a voice to the groups, organisations and individuals active in the UK that campaign on Latin America and on issues relating to the continent. The idea is to give a space and to broaden the audience for independent and marginalized voices and to celebrate Latin culture.
It that has been organising a monthly film and music night for 2 years, currently based at the Salmon and Compass bar in Islington, with political & social awareness documentary films, speakers and exhibitions as well as bringing the finest in a cross section of Latin music.
Musically the concept is to represent all styles of Latin American music from Salsa to Ska, Hip Hop & Reggaeton to reflect the struggles and conflicts that exist within the continent. They hosted powerful Colombian political hip-hop group Zona Marginal at their first ever event, and guest DJs have included some of the top Latin DJs in the country John Armstrong (Futuro Flamenco) & Lubi Jovanovic (Fania).
