Rock Latino... This Band from Chimaltenango has played before at the festival, and they sounded so good that we invited them back. The movement and energy soared. With their new sound and an excellent saxophone player rounding out the band they are soaring! The dancing intensified and the evening set in.

8:30 PM Iguanamanga
Iguanamanga is the best Reggae band in Guatemala. With their right on beats and their atitud chapin it makes for a great dancing set with lots of latin undertones.
The Band has gone through changes, and with the new keyboard player and percussionist the ensemble is getting tighter all the time. This is the best version yet, and the crowd just kept on dancing.
