Event Description

National performers electrify the diverse audience with high-energy tunes that move the crowd to dance under the stars. Local and regional Latin acts take the stage and unite festival-goers with the rhythms of Salsa, Merengue, and Jazz. Headline performances will take place on a giant stage on the beach at 24th Street.

Kinito Méndez, a Merengue singer, started his career in 1988 as one of the co-founders of the popular Merengue band La Cocoband. Mendez wrote and arranged many of La Cocoband's hit songs including "La Manito," "El Boche," "La Seca," "El Cacu," and "Mujer Malvada." With the success of La Cocoband Mendez decided to leave and start his own project in early 1992 along with Bobby Rafael. With new band Rokabanda Mendez recorded three hit albums. In 1995 Mendez decided to go solo and released his much anticipated solo album "El Hombre Merengue," which sold 1.5 million copies, a rare feat for a tropical artist. Kinito Mendez will take the stage Friday, June 26, from 9:15pm-10:45pm.
