The Valencians are coming to the festival, as international leaders in musical fusion<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2016, La Ra\u00edz celebrated their 10th birthday with dizzying figures: more than 110,000 followers on Facebook and 20 million plays on their YouTube channel. Moreover, their latest album Entre poetas y presos <\/em>held a spot on the list of most sold albums for 3 months, and helped the Gandians to secure 70 concerts throughout the year. Long story short: La Ra\u00edz are a phenomenon, the first national reference to the engaged mestizo scene.<\/p>\n

This year will be a special one for La Ra\u00edz, as the group will be bringing their explosive blend of rock, ska, reggae and hip-hop to Europe and Latin America, with very few appearances on the Iberian Peninsula. One of these limited shows will be at Cru\u00eflla: an exceptional event in every sense, it will have us hallucinating and calling out, as one of their songs says, \u201cque ruede la corona\u201d (\u201clet the crown roll\u201d).<\/p>\n
