Clandestino Festival features music, art and talks from urban and rural cultural environments created out of the waves of global orientation from the late 20th century until today.

The program strives beyond multiculturalism understood as the contemporary metamorphosis of racism. The festival relates not only to alternative forms of music and diversity of margins, it challenges mainstream representations of ethnic differences at the same time as it provokes one to rethink multiculturalism in a new way, beyond binary folklorification, exotic and demonizing representation.

Through a genre-bending electronic intifada, posing of known and future legends, underground university talks and tantalizing imagery, Clandestino Festival has gained a reputation for promoting an uplifting critique of contemporary forms of cultural imperialism.
