“Bringing the Fania ALL-STARS to South Florida will be a unique opportunity to ignite a long-standing love for Latin music for members of our community,” said Raul Martinez, President and CEO of ASPIRA of Florida. “One of the benefits of this series is that proceeds will go towards fostering the social advancement of the local Latino youth,” he added.

Tickets start at $45 per concert. Descarga Series Package available $150 per person for all four concerts. For tickets, click here to find the tickets at TicketMaster or call 800-745-3000.

The Fania Legends are part of an elite group of musicians in history that influenced the sounds of salsa, merengue and big band inspired styles of the Caribbean. For many, the Fania record label invokes nostalgia to listeners of Latin music, much like that of Motown to the sounds of soul and R&B.
