FILM
The Michoacan File, Bernardo Arsuaga, 1h and 31m, Mexico 2024
Mexican food culture is the focus of this exciting documentary that kicks off the evening's Mexican festive event. We delve into the incredible story of how Mexico, in 2010, became the first country in the world to be added to UNESCO's prestigious World Heritage List. For all who love Mexican food, it's not only about the delightful dishes we get to enjoy and the challenges of actually making it onto the list after much adversity; it is an eye-opener to discover how Mexican food culture and ingredients have traveled across large parts of the world over many years.
FOOD
Viva Mexico catering serves chilaquiles and tacos, while Macarena catering provides the food service for the evening – a tribute to Mexican food culture!
MUSIC
Claudette Vigueras & José Louis Garcia
The stage is specially decorated for the evening by artist Lucia Diaz del Castillo, featuring an altar and extensive decorations in true Mexican ceremonial style. The show begins with the duo Vigueras & García, dressed in traditional attire, starting with a prayer. This custom in Mexico sets the mood for the show! Vigueras & García perform every year during the Día de Muertos celebration, which Vigueras believes has the deepest roots in Mexican culture – also reaching beyond national borders. Vigueras’ use of movement, rhythm, and emotions creates an enchanting experience. García is a Mexican singer and percussionist known for his energetic performances that swing from melancholy to euphoria when he is on stage.
Mariachi Sol de Oslo
The traditional mariachi ensemble offers a musical and visual feast with a total of twelve musicians and dancers on stage! Mariachi Sol de Oslo presents a symphony of genres, inspired by Latin rhythms, bolero, jazz, Mexican music, and global soundscapes. Mariachi melodies bring life and energy to all occasions, so come and experience the authentic spirit of Mexico with traditional mariachi, original songs, and dancers!
The Latin Touch, Luna Horns Band and Løren & Refstad School Corps
Pop music blended with Latin roots creates the vibrant feeling that The Latin Touch delivers! The multicultural band specializes in live music – and to make the live experience extra special this evening, they are collaborating with Luna Horns Band and Løren & Refstad School Corps!
