Historic Downtown Los Angeles transforms into a Cuban block party as the Third Annual Cuban-American Music Festival brings together Latinos and Latino music lovers from throughout Southern California for a day-long celebration of Cuban music, culture, and cuisine. The festival takes place on Sunday, May 19, 2019, in commemoration of the day Cuba gained formal independence from the United States, at LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes, 501 N. Main Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012, from 12pm to 8pm. Watch the promotional video here.

Produced by Yambu Productions and LA Plaza, the Cuban-American Music Festival celebrates the rich diversity of Cuban culture in Southern California. The festival will feature music by international and regional artists, headlined by The Pedrito Martinez Group; Cuban cuisine from local vendors; Cuban and Latin-inspired drinks; dance troupes; Cuban cigar-rolling sessions; and lively domino playing. Dancers of all skill levels will fill the large dance floor with energetic spinning, twirling, and hip swinging.

Now in its third year, the Cuban-American Music Festival has established itself as the go-to event for L.A.’s Cuban community. More than 3,000 attended the 2018 edition. In the 2017 inaugural event, the festival became a viral sensation with a video featuring LAPD Officer Jeffery Booker, who hopped off his motorcycle and showed off some serious salsa skills.
