Every summer the city of Toulouse (31 Haut-Garonne, Occitanie) holds a world music festival, and for 2019 the focus was on World Travel and music – 12 – 16 June 2024
“Relive the best moments of the festival, from its inception in 2005 when it was called Garonne today, Rio Loco promises for 20 years a major retrospective and a trip on the world’s rivers, the Ebro, the Arno, Mississippi, Volga, Nile, the Rio Plata, Danube, Ganges …
Rio Loco attempts to reflect the variety and the artistic wealth of the invited country through a program where famous artists mix with young talents.
