Beyond tired romanticisms, the truth is that dancing is perhaps the ritual that most reconnects us with the earth. This statement has very good arguments behind it, including anthropological ones. And by dancing we can feel the solid ground under our feet, and by letting ourselves rumble on it, an awareness of inhabiting the present grows. It is not for nothing that so many cultures have been formed from dance, preserving it as an unquestionable essence.
The first edition of Tierra Beat Festivalin Mexico City, is an excellent example, and a moment to check the strength of the dance and the rhythms.
Tierra Beat will take place in Parque Bicentenario,
on April 27 and 28, in Mexico City.
This festival will have as its fundamental axes the environmental action, on the one hand, and rock, reggae and electronic music on the other. Among the bands that make up the poster are Hollie Cook, Marc Romboy, Aguas Aguas, Sonido Gallo Negro, Zombies in Miami and Cass McCombs.
There will also be other cultural events, such as theater, cinema and videomapping, as well as talks and workshops on the environment and eco-activism. And if that were not enough, access will be free.
Since it is its first edition, it is likely that Tierra Beat will become a musical reference in CDMX, as well as a meeting place between activists and environmentalists of all kinds. For now, it is a fact that will make us dance with exquisite rhythms, reconnecting us with the primal and linking us with others.
But it is worth fueling this festival with our presence, to make it the venue it can become. Therefore, here we leave you the poster with the bands and schedules per day, so you don’t make plans and go to Tierra Beat this April 27 and 28:
