A blink and your miss it summary of the 10 days of the ¡VAMOS! Festival in 2008…

The ¡VAMOS! Festival is a bi-annual ten day celebration of Latin and Lusophone cultures held in the North-East of England with a bewildering presentation of artforms that we work on every 2 years… Remember to check out vamosfestival.com for more info and updates.
