Boston’s Summer Nights Come Alive with 2025 Tito Puente Latin Music Series
Inquilinos Boricuas en Acción (IBA) kicks off the annual Tito Puente Latin Music Series on July 10 at 7 p.m. with a lively performance by Cuban singer-songwriter Barbara Zamora Vargas at O’Day Playground (85 W Newton St, Boston, MA 02118). Presented in partnership with Berklee College of Music, the City of Boston Parks and Recreation Department, and the National Endowment for the Arts, the six-concert summer series brings the vibrant rhythms of Latin Caribbean music to parks across Boston, filling Thursday evenings with salsa, soul, and dancing.
Showcasing the vibrant sound of live Latin music, the series features dynamic performances from a diverse lineup of Latin artists. This summer, audiences can turn up the volume with Hugo Díaz, celebrate Boston’s rich cultural diversity with Costa Rican native Manolo Mairena y la Pura Vida, and experience the bold sounds of Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation scholarship recipient Kristalis y Las Nenas del Swing. Claves and Blue will deliver an extraordinary blend of Cuban music and Latin jazz, leading up to the grand finale on August 14 with the unforgettable tropical rhythms of Puerto Rican artist Jesús Pagán.
“For 17 years, this music series has brought the soul of Latin music to Boston’s parks, transforming summer nights into vibrant celebrations of culture, rhythm, and community,” said Vanessa Calderón-Rosado, IBA CEO. “What ultimately began as a tribute to the legendary Tito Puente has grown into a powerful tradition, one that honors the roots of Latin music while creating joyful, inclusive spaces where people from all walks of life can connect through the universal language of music. Through our partnerships with Berklee College of Music, the Boston Parks and Recreation Department, and National Endowment for the Arts, we’re proud to present free, live performances that uplifts and empowers communities across our city.”
Notably including performances by Berklee students, alumni, and world-renowned artists, IBA looks forward to continuing to foster a vibrant Latin music and salsa community.
