Quique Neira has risen to legendary status in Latin America’s reggae circles. He has been described as the voice of Chilean youth. Neira left his former band Gondwana in 2002, and has since then had a successful solo career and distinguished himself as a singer, composer and producer.

Neira, who is soon releasing his third solo record Jah Rock in Europe, will kick off his European tour at World Village Festival. His mellow mix of roots rock, reggae and Latin rhythms has drawn eager listeners to small clubs and large music halls since the 1990’s, and will surely be a hit with festival-goers.
