3rd AQUÍ TAMÉN SE FALA MUSIC FESTIVAL, TODAY
What was born in a state secondary school in Coruña... is already a phenomenon that crosses borders: the #AquíTaménSeFala Festival celebrates its 3rd edition today Friday, 12th June at the Tolerance Square and gives its international jump featuring Carolina Deslandes, one of the most important musical artists from Portugal.
Apart from her, three other from the Galician scene: Apolo 18, Kid Mount & De Ningures.
But this is much more than music... not only because it's the only professional festival in Europe organized by a secondary school, but also ATSF is the largest lingustic revitalization movement in the country, actively carried out by more than 25.000 teenagers.
