Tito Puente Latin Music Series: Los Hacheros

The events take place Thursdays in July and August at outdoor locations across Boston. The six-concert Tito Puente Latin Music Series presents a soundscape of live Latin music with a strong salsa influence in parks around the City. The series is coproduced by Berklee, City of Boston Parks and Recreation Department, and IBA Boston. Performers include:

• Berklee faculty, students, and alumni, and
• world-renowned artists.

There are free salsa lessons led by MetaMovements at select concerts.

This Puerto Rican and Cuban influenced band is reviving Latin folkloric styles like son montuno, guaracha, and salsa by combining them with the fiery rhythms of bomba. Though only consisting of 6-musicians, this conjunto makes up for size with their explosive enthusiasm. They are widely known for their improvisation that keeps audiences on their toes.
