"La Gomera, and more specifically San Sebastián, will be the capital of Salsa with the celebration of its Latin Festival on Saturday 14 October. It will take place in the Parque de la Torre del Conde, the epicentre of the main events in the programme planned by the San Sebastián City Council.
Venezuelan singer Oscar d'León will take part, the first Venezuelan interpreter to receive an Anglo-Saxon Grammy award and known as the 'Sonero* of the World' or the 'Lion of Salsa.' *Translator's note: a sonero is a singer of son music, a genre of Afro-Cuban music that originated in the late 19th century. Soneros are typically known for their improvisational skills and their ability to tell stories through their music. They often use their lyrics to comment on social and political issues.
Kinito Méndez, born in the Dominican Republic and one of the most popular merengueros in America, will also perform alongside the Puerto Rica band GrupoManía, which began in the early 1990s, formed by the Serrano brothers Héctor and Oscar, as well as Edwin Serrano and Alfred Cotto and later Elvis Crespo, among others. The musical group from Gran Canaria 'Grupo Bomba' will also perform.
