Carnegie Hall

(NEW YORK, NY; October 29, 2024)—On Wednesday, November 20 at 8:00 p.m., reggaeton superstar Ivy Queen makes her Carnegie Hall debut in Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage. Named Billboard’s Women in Music Icon in 2023, Ivy Queen first emerged on the music scene in the 1990s with a powerful ethos of empowerment and self-determination. The output of this pioneering singer, rapper, songwriter, and actress spans not only reggaeton, but also salsa, bachata, hip hop, and more. The one-night-only event is part of Nuestros sonidos—a season-long Carnegie Hall festival shining a light on Latin culture in the US. This November 20 performance will mark the first time a reggaeton artist has headlined a concert at Carnegie Hall.

Nuestros sonidos events throughout the Carnegie Hall season highlight the game-changing contributions and constant evolution of Latin music from the 1930s to today, with a special focus on genres that have developed and thrived in the US, including vital contributions from the Caribbean. Concerts throughout 2024–2025 season feature musical styles that range from salsa, bachata, and Latin jazz to reggaeton, hip-hop, classical, and much more.
