FRESCA IS BORN
As America celebrates Latin culture with Hispanic Heritage

will showcase bands on the leading edge of Future Latin Fusion.
Banda hip-hoppers AKWID, reggaeton sensation VOLTIO, Latin
funk collective YERBA BUENA and the Latin Rock/Funk outfit
RADIO MUNDIAL team up on this forward-thinking tour. A production
of famed music figures Gary Kurfirst and Chris Blackwell,
with acclaimed producer Andres Levin as Music Director And
Yahoo! Telemundo as a presenting sponsor, MUSICA FRESCA is
destined to become the defining name in modern Latin music.
Besides presenting the hippest Latin fusions around, MUSICA
FRESCA will showcase the hottest up-and-coming acts. The best
of local music will be presented in every city as Yahoo! Telemundo
presents a Battle of the Bands showcase prior to each performance.
Never before has regional Latin-focused bands been given the
opportunity to share the stage with such a unique roster of
artists. With stops in numerous major cities, such as New
York, Los Angeles, Miami, Washington, and across Texas, the
future of Latin music has arrived.
