FIESTA! PUERTO RICO celebrates the island's culture in Coral Springs 7th annual free outdoor festival and indoor concert benefits ASPIRA of FLORIDA on June 28th
Each year, thousands flock to the annual Fiesta Puerto Rico! celebration that features the unique musical traditions that often combine Spanish language song forms with African-derived instrumentation and rhythms, tasty native foods and drinks, salsa dancing and an artistic display of art and tropical culture.
Local Puerto Ricans, and the entire community will enjoy the 7th annual FIESTA! PUERTO RICO, set for Sunday, June 28th at the Coral Springs Center for the Arts, 2855 Coral Springs Drive, from 11am to 7pm. Presented by ASPIRA of Florida, and produced by We Do Events, Inc, this family day is fast becoming a tradition in Coral Springs.
The FREE outdoor festival will take place on the Museum grounds and convenient parking is free all day. Although Puerto Rico has a rich folk music tradition, fast-tempoed salsa music is the most widely known indigenous Puerto Rican music…and FIESTA! PUERTO RICO will deliver it all!
OUTDOOR STAGE:
Headliner, Marlow Rosado y La Riquena
A native of Puerto Rico, Rosado is a Salsero at heart, and grew up with the sounds of Fania. He has successfully written, played and produced hits in a variety of musical styles for some of the most renowned artists in Latin music and been nominated for multiple Grammy awards.
After listening to Rosado's sound at a private dinner meeting in San Juan last year, the iconic Godfather of Salsa, Andy Montanez. was impressed enough to offer his support with a guest vocal appearance on the album.. One week later, the title track, 'Salsalsa,' carried the unmistakable sound of Andy Montanez. With this strong a sendoff, Marlow Rosado y La Riquena seems destined to make a strong first impression in the world of 'salsa dura'.
