Carnegie Hall

Son Del Monte, led by veteran timbalero and bandleader Manuel Rivera, brings the fire of classic salsa with a fresh twist. With its signature “chajunto” sound—fusing the elegance of charanga with the punchy horns of conjunto—this dynamic New York–based orchestra celebrates the golden era of Latin music while keeping dancers on their feet with original compositions and rich Afro-Caribbean rhythms. A crowd favorite across festivals and dance floors, Son Del Monte makes its Carnegie Hall Citywide debut at Al Quiñones Playground with irresistible swing and sabor.
