A New England Route for Ibero-American Artists
Ibermúsicas and Arts Council England have launched a special call aimed at supporting Ibero-American musical artists in England during the 2027 season. The programme is designed around a circuit of performances and cultural exchange activity developed with LatinoLife in London and Luma Creations in Liverpool.
The call points to a practical export model: selected artists are expected to perform at least in London and Liverpool, with key events including LatinoLife in the Park and La Feria Festival. Support may include international air travel, ground transport between the two cities, visa costs where needed, local transport, accommodation, subsistence, technical support and artistic fees.
Why This Matters for Latin Music
- Export is being built as a circuit, not only a one-off festival slot
- London and Liverpool connect artists to different UK communities, audiences and cultural organisations
- Workshops and community activity can make the opportunity deeper than a single performance
- DJs and promoters should watch selected acts because funded circuits often surface artists with strong live stories and international readiness
The LatinMixx Take
Latin and Ibero-American artists need more than viral attention to travel well. They need routing, institutional partners, community connection, stage proof and clean professional materials. This Ibermúsicas and Arts Council England call is a reminder that export strategy is becoming more organized, and that the UK Latin scene is building real pathways for artists who can deliver live.
The next Latin export story may start with a funded circuit before it reaches the club request line.
