Salsa royalty celebrates Cheo Feliciano’s 50 years in music

A super-class sonero, Cheo Feliciano traveled the world with Fania All Star icons Ray Barretto and Héctor Lavoe during salsa’s glory days of the 1970s.

On June 20, a dozen Latin music legends will celebrate his 50th anniversary in music, a long overdue tribute at Madison Square Garden’s WaMu Theater.

“It’s about time,” said Oscar Hernández, leader of the Spanish Harlem Orchestra, who will participate. “If there’s anybody who deserves a tribute like this it’s Cheo Feliciano.””*
