Coun Lisa Mulherin, the council’s deputy executive member for leisure said: “Leeds Loves Latino is going to be like no event we’ve ever had on Millennium Square and we are delighted to be bringing something new and exciting to the city.

“It is going to be a fantastic day of dance, sensational sounds and vibrant colour and I’m sure people of all ages who join in the fun will have a really great time.”

The musical performances will be led by salsa band Salsa Celtica, while Glastonbury regulars Latin Dub Sound System will be bringing their range of electro-Latino beats.

Cuban funk band Wara and samba rock group Afrosamba complete the line-up of live bands. Advance tickets for the event are available at www.leedsloveslatino.com
