In their Hostos Center debut, Ángel “Papote” Alvarado y el Grupo Esencia will celebrate 25 years of performing and recording their dynamic style of hard-hitting, danceable Bomba, Plena and Salsa. These Latin Grammy nominees released their seventh album El tren de la sabrosura in 2022 to high praise and recognition, winning the prestigious "Best Album of the Year" from Puerto Rico's Fundación Nacional para La Cultura Popular. Joining them is special guest artist Hector “Pichie” Pérez – the Bronx-born “sonero” and 30-year lead singer of La Sonora Ponceña. This culturally rich evening will resonate with fans - young and old - of contemporary Bomba, Plena, Salsa and Afro-Caribbean music.
