All concerts start at 7:00 p.m. and are weather permitting.
The performances are as follows:
July 7, O Day Park The Latin Logic Band
Combining the sounds of its Costa Rican and Venezuelan origins, the Latin Logic Band plays a special brand of Latin, jazz, and Afro-Caribbean rhythms. This Grammy-nominated duo has explored remote corners of the world, sharing its music.
July 14, O Day Park Mango Blue
Led by the renowned Alex Alvear, Mango Blue has become an award-winning Afro-Latin music ensemble. Alvear does it all as composer, singer, bassist, and arranger while bringing a little of Ecuador, the country of his birth, to Boston. With his unique compositions, he has been a driving force in New England's Latin music scene, making him one of the most accomplished Latino artists in the city.
July 21, Mozart Park Conjuto Chevere
El Grupo Chevere was formed in 1994 in Boston's Jamaica Plain neighborhood as a bachata and ballad band with heavy Latin influence. Additionally, it played Cuban-style salsa, which focused on the use of guitars. Now the group plays nearly every genre of Latin dance music with a focus on merengue and salsa. The audience can expect to hear an explosive mix of salsa and merengue. With members who hail from the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, El Salvado, Curacao, and Cuba, the band blends a number of heart thumping genres into a distinctive sound.
July 28, Mission Hill Playground Clave and Blues
An authentic Cuban sound mixed with other contemporary influences has earned local band Clave and Blues a significant following across New England. The group, which includes professional musicians from Berklee, is directed by Cuban pianist Anibal Cruz, who graduated from the Instituto Superior de Arte in Havana, Cuba, and currently studies at Berklee.
August 4, O Day Park Orquesta Homenaje
Puerto Rican percussionist Frankie Rodr guez has been a mainstay in the New England music scene as the go-to bandleader whenever salsa superstars are performing in the region. Rodr guez has performed with artists like Ismael Miranda, Lalo Rodr guez, Cheo Feliciano, and others. His band, Orquesta Homenaje, joins forces with some of the most talented performers from the region and offers an exciting blend of salsa hits.
August 11, LoPresti Park The Remedy
This six-piece band is taking contemporary pop and reggaeton and transforming it into what it calls tropical pop. The band blends salsa's biggest hits with current trends, resulting in remarkable numbers that will make you move. The group s special bond dating back to its members days at Berklee is apparent in all of its music.
