Last Friday, The United Palace, one of Manhattan’s most iconic venues, proudly announced the second annual “Bachateria: From the Fields to the Palace” concert. This live event will celebrate and document the rich history, founding heroes, and future stars of the globally expanding genre of Bachata music.
Headlining Performance by El Chaval de la Bachata
This year’s special guest is none other than El Chaval de la Bachata, an award-winning Dominican singer and songwriter. El Chaval will also inaugurate a new tradition by donating to one of his favorite charities, further enhancing the community spirit of the event.
“I have had the honor of performing at the United Palace many times and have always received a warm welcome from the audience,” said El Chaval. “I am proud to return to the United Palace to play for my fans again and help support these up-and-coming musicians trying to make a career in bachata music. It means a lot to me to have the opportunity to give back to the community that has supported me for all of these years.”
Meet the Rising Stars of Bachata
Alongside El Chaval, the concert will feature performances by rising Bachata stars Judy Santos, J-Fab Y Paola Fabré, DNX4, Frias, Chavi Leons, and Optimo. These artists are pushing the musical genre forward through their electrifying live music and dynamic digital presence.
“We believe in offering a platform to new and existing talent who are pushing the culture and genre to the masses,” said Bachateria founders Juan C. “DJ Smurf” Vargas & Wagner “DJ Frikkiao” Mateo. “We strive to preserve the rich cultural history and increase awareness of Bachata, allowing fans to appreciate, live, play, and dance to this amazing music.”
