Moncho Rivera, nephew of Ismael Rivera, known for his stage presence and unique voice. He honors tradition with his cultural pride and urban roots.
Gerardo Rivas, a dynamic performer known for his explosive stage presence and deep roots in tropical music.
These exceptional artists will be accompanied by 8 y MAS, the all-star band co-founded by Bobby Allende, celebrated for its electrifying sound, precision, and deep Afro-Caribbean roots.
Let us come together for an evening of rhythm, respect, and celebration—honoring Bobby Allende with the music, friends, and legacy that continue to shape Latin music history.
