“Each Sunday until Labor Day weekend, a different organization pays $20,000 to $50,000 to cover most of the day’s expenses for the Tropical Music Festival, an annual series of Latin concerts at the beach on Long Island Sound, a mile-long stretch of sand known as the Riviera of the Bronx.
On July 22, the festival’s opening day, American Airlines was the principal sponsor. Yesterday, to the dismay of some local officials, it was the United States Army.
“I know we all have our opinions,” said the festival’s M.C., Casper Martinez, a stand-up comedian from the Bronx who broadcasts on a New York Spanish-language radio station, La Mega 97.9 FM. “But we do want to thank the U.S. Army for being here with us.””
