Mestizo is a Spanish word to define mixed blood but also the blending of cultural traditions among the mixing of ethnicities in a country. The show will present the Mestizo Music that arose in France in the late eighties that ignited an international music scene during the next two decades around mainly South Europe, North Africa and throughout the American Continent.

This is music with social conscience performed by musicians from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. This is a scene that started in the streets in the banlieues, blocks, favelas or barrios of the underprivileged areas and then went to recording studios. Their leaders are not only musicians but also social activists. This is not World music.

This is music made by young people blending tradition and modern music. Mestizo as a label maybe lack of marketing appeal but define better the cultural aspect of this music than the mixed bag of World music for non-English modern music.
