Miami Beach Bandshell Presents: Juan Fernando Velasco
Thursday, September 26th
Doors open at 7:00 PM
Juan Fernando Velasco is a big deal in Ecuadorian pop music – he’s been making waves for the past 25 years. With two Latin Grammy nominations, an Emmy win, and a stack of gold and platinum records to his name, he’s not just a musician; he’s a legend. Since he kicked off his solo career in ’99, Juan’s been rocking the charts with hits like “Para que no me forgets,” “Déjame,” and “Chao Lola” – tunes that have become the soundtrack to countless lives. But Juan’s not just about catchy singles. He’s all about storytelling through music. From albums like “Con todo el alma” and “Misquilla,” paying homage to Ecuadorian “pasillos,” to his latest project, “POPular,” where he puts a fresh spin on his greatest hits in different regional styles – his music is more than just songs; it’s an experience. And let’s not forget his collaborations – he’s worked with heavyweights like Franco de Vita, Fonseca, and Andrés Cepeda. Now, as he gears up to celebrate 25 years as a solo artist, he’s dropped “Mi amigo el dolor,” giving us a taste of what’s to come in 2024. Trust us, you won’t want to miss it. Juan’s just getting started, and it’s bound to be epic.
