Our Latin Thing, an ensemble of lead singers and musicians from New York’s top Latin bands, pays tribute to the legendary group, the Fania All-Stars. The Fania All-Stars were a group of artists from the 1970’s that popularized Latin music’s sound to a wide audience via their large scale concerts. Included in the group were salsa greats such as Ray Barretto, Willie Colón, and Johnny Pacheco. Our Latin Thing will perform an assortment of all the Fania All Stars’ top hits, whose music was influenced by American jazz, soul, and rock and roll.

Felix Hernandez is in the business of remembering the good ol’ days. Hernandez’s wildly popular radio show, Rhythm Revue, takes on a life of its own weekly at New York’s Roseland, where three thousand disciples regularly come to hear Fernandez spin the sounds of the past and boogie down. Felix Hernandez will rock the crowd once again at SummerStage again with his mix of soul, Motown, funk, salsa and disco dance classics. Bring your dancing shoes.
