Colorful festival in Bendestorf: Latin Fever combines cultures through music!

Bendestorf, Deutschland - music is a universal language that connects people from a wide variety of cultures. An outstanding example of this is the upcoming event "Colorful Together", which is under the motto "Latin Fever meets Bendestorf". On Sunday, August 10, 2025, a festival of cultural exchange will be celebrated in front of the Makens Huus in Bendestorf from 3 p.m. Lueneburgaktuell reports that this is a great offer for all music lovers.

The afternoon is rounded off by an international finger food buffet, refreshing soft drinks and rousing sounds from Latin and South America as well as Spain. The talented musicians from "Latin Fever", including the Chilean percussionist Nancho Campos, the Cuban guitarist and singer Euclides Milán, and the Paraguayan guitarist and singer Anibal Portillo provide the musical entertainment. The variety of music styles ranges from Salsa, Tango and Rumba to Cha Cha and Bolero.

a festival for all

The goal of this festive gathering is clear: bring together people of different cultural backgrounds and to ensure good cooperation. The event is organized by several institutions, including the Samtgemeinde Jesteburg, represented by the refugee coordinator Ms. Backhaus and the mayor Ms. von Ascheraden, and the municipality of Bendestorf, represented by Mayor Mr. Beiersdorf. The Entrée Music Foundation is also on board with Jean-Jacques Kravetz and Giko Krömker. In a special act of solidarity, the music foundation donates 300 euros to support the musical performances.

Another interesting point is that visitors are encouraged to bring finger food from their home countries themselves. Safety seekers can also submit receipts for their ingredients and receive these costs. The event not only becomes a culinary highlight, but also a sign of help and community.

A look at the music landscape

The importance of such events is also underpinned by research on the cultural landscape. According to a nationwide study that deals with the role of music festivals, these are not only central elements of culture in Germany, but also important driving springs for the economy. [LiveKultur] (https://www.bundesstiftung-livekultur.org/musikfestivals-im-fokus-studie-zu-herse- und-kultureller-Relevanz/) emphasizes that music festivals promote social exchange and cultural diversity. These trade fairs contribute to finding identity and offer newcomers: inside a platform to present their talents.

The study that started in 2024 pursues the goal of measuring the economic, cultural, ecological and social relevance of over 1,800 music festivals in Germany and will publish the results in summer 2025. This scientific study brings important findings for the future design of the music landscape in Germany.

The event "Colorful together" on August 10 will not only be a festival of music, but also a lively example of how music can beat bridges between cultures. If you have the opportunity, you should definitely note this appointment!
