Ritmo Caliente will headline the Latin Festival music showcase with other performers in the lineup including Hip Hop Jibaro, Grupo Los Coste\u00f1os, Bronte Roman with a Celia Cruz tribute, and R&B<\/a> artist Mirage. The lineup includes a diverse set of Hispanic music genres for all to experience and enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Latino culture, specifically music, art and dance are beautiful. Some friends and I came up with the Albany LatinFest years ago to develop an event to share the culture, but more importantly an event that Latino families would be proud to experience. We knew from the beginning that this would not only be a celebration of art and culture, but also a statement of inclusion because the Latin Fest is for everyone. <\/p>-Pedro Diaz, founder and President of the Albany Latin Festival Association<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Albany Latin Festival Association aims to promote and develop Hispanic cultural events in the capital region<\/a>. The Latin Festival is one way for the organization to honor the contributions of Hispanic<\/a> performing artists and promote an appreciation for multi-cultural diversity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
