The call is open to solo performers, musical groups, and dance companies from Quintana Roo or any other state in Mexico. Selected acts will take part in the festival’s artistic lineup, which aims to promote creative work, foster cultural exchange, and bring the country’s musical and dance diversity to local audiences.
