The day of the dead is truly a celebration of life in Mexico. Where people celebrate the circle of life and teach others not to fear death. A celebration where people feel free to enjoy and appreciate every moment. The dead are not remembered or commemorated. Instead they are considered present. This is a celebration with the dead, not of the dead.

22:00 – MARIACHI RELOADED (MEX/CRI/CHI/CU/BE)
As its name suggests, Mariachi Reloaded is a complete reinvention of the traditional Mexican folk genre Mariachi. The multicultural configuration of its Mexican, Honduran, Cuban and Belgian members ensure that you won’t be offered the usual ‘Cielito Lindo’ or ‘La Malagueña’. Each set is as eclectic as its makeup promises: they shift quickly from one rhythm to another, beginning a song with a folk rhythm, intercepting it in ska style and finishing it with a funk groove.
