Our Goals & Missions
Unique in Latin America, the International League of Music Festivals and Artists (LIFA) is a festival of independent & alternative music born in Mexico and will make this 2023 its 6th edition in Mexico & Brazil.
Focused on the music market, LIFA’s main objective is to value national music independent and create a circuit in Latin America, to strengthen the dialogue between local artists, national and professional music internationally…
Since its inception, LIFA has sought to value the local & global music. While Latin America is a breeding ground for diverse talent and music, the independent level requires a lot of support and cultural connection. We understand that not only from an attractive alignment and an unique concept lives a good festival.
At a time when festivals grow gradual & commercially, which makes it harder to stand out from the crowd & competitors. Thinking about this, LIFA comes with the focus of innovating in the proposal, either by the place of performance or by the structure or experience offered to the public. With artists for the artists.
Due to the pandemic, LIFA 2020 was held only in a digital event broadcast live from the LIFA Brasil studios in Brasilia. With the live TV transmission & presentation of 3 Brazilian projects and a huge selection of video clips, interviews and pre-recorded sessions by more than 50 artists from 4 continents. Since this year, we created the concept “LIFA GLOBAL”, which is an album compiled by different artists. With the purpose of joining forces and spreading music from a long-distance. It is an anthology of hits by new and well-known artists, in the underground scene of several countries. Listen “LIFA GLOBAL 2020”, here at your favorite streaming platform! This event was possible with the sponsorship from BizBat (before Sonnar App).
LIFA 2021 was not possible live by COVID. We published social media content paying tribute to musicians who died during the pandemic times, and who we lost in those years of infections. Rest in peace. Music was remembered in our LIFA IN MEMORIAM playlist, and you can listen it here at Spotify. With more than 171 tracks from talented, endearing, great friends, lovely people & musicians around almost the entire world (RIP!). Who we will remember always for their great contribution to local and global music. And we launched the 2nd compilation “LIFA GLOBAL 2021”, available at all the streaming platforms worldwide here.
LIFA 2022 could only be held live in Mexico, after the opening of clubs, bars, forums and spaces (post-Covid). Instead of holding a massive event, we prefer to bring together great 4 bands from the Mexican national underground in an intimate show in Mexico City. Almost sold out! We also released the 3rd “LIFA GLOBAL 2022” compilation. Listen now!
LIFA 2023 created the MICHE NIGHTS concept in Mexico City. Which is a new intimate forum for 120 people, where we can listen to different talents every Thursday (CDMX) in Miche at the Terraza Micheviche. Where artists, labels, collectives, musicians, producers, bands, labels, festivals, DJs & singers who want to play and are looking for an open space for new music can play. The LIFA call is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The feat begins. We finally have a LIFA forum. We are waiting for you with open arms!
