In its third year, the Afro-Latino Festival pulsed with vibrant, melodic sounds that can be found throughout Latin America and mapped back to "the mother land." Beyond food, language and history, there's no better way to trace culture ties than with music.
The Afro-Latino Festival moved from borough-to-borough in its third year, showcasing impressive demonstrations, stellar music performances, collective culture, African roots, and the colorful manifestation of the diverse Latino community.

The Afro-Latino community has blessed us with some incredible talent in art, culture and music - from the "Queen of Salsa" Celia Cruz to Cuban singer and composer Compay El Segundo, percussionist Sheila E., singer and jazz bassist Esperanza Spalding, among many others.
In celebration of these amazing talents and heritages, on July 10-12 the Afro-Latino Festival of New York is paying tribute to the African roots of people from Latin America and the Caribbean with performances from the Grammy-nominated duo Les Nubians and world-class acts Cultura Profética, Kafu Banton, Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto, Danay Suarez and Que Bajo?!
