Every summer the city of Toulouse (31 Haut-Garonne, Midi Pyrenees) holds a world music festival, and for 2007 the focus is on Spain - flamenco, guitar,dancing, salsa etc -
"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.
With 150 000 festival-goers in 2006 for Senegal, Rio Loco invites Spain for its 13th edition in a park on the banks of the Garonne river: open-air concerts, youth public performances, cinema, visual arts, gastronomy and craft "village". During the month of June, Toulouse will also live at the Spanish rate with exhibitions, performances, concerts, danse, readings, projections, afters... in all the city within around fifty cultural structures associated to the festival."
The festival runs from 15-24 June 2007 and provides yet another good reason for visiting this vibrant city - for more info see:-
