Inaugural Migo Fest, Celebrating Latin Culture And Corridos, Set For New York In October

New York is going to get its first-ever corridos festival this fall with the inaugural Migo Festi, an event that aims to celebrate and uplift the Latin experience through music. Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater will host the single-day festival taking place Oct. 11, and Netón Vega, Chino Pacos, Aleman and DannyLux will be headlining.

The event is produced by Migo Events, an organization committed to building an inclusive space while promoting Latin culture, in partnership with VPS Music, Viva Toro and StaffingRus.

Other artists on the bill include Jasiel Nunez, Estevie, Bratty, Delilah, Kane Rodriguez, Los Aptos, Darriell Cano, Erre, MXKA, Spliff Happy, Selines, Somni and Santy y Su Estilo Unico.

In addition to celebrating Latin music and culture, the festival also aims to help aspiring musicians with a percentage of ticket sales going toward the Migo Fund, a nonprofit created to support up-and-coming Latin immigrant artists by providing financial assistance and art supplies.

The event was born from an admiration of corridos and community, and New York didn’t provide a space for both.

“Migo Fest was created based on the PueblaYork community that is going through pressing times, yet we are more united than ever. We deserve to celebrate our culture and have fun,” Paulina Montiel, co-founder of the Migo Festival, said in a statement. “I’m excited to be bringing the first Corridos Music Festival to the iconic Jones Beach Theater, especially since it will be most of these artists’ first time performing in New York City. We will be chartering buses from 3 major train stations to Jones Beach. I can’t wait for the PueblaYork community to show the world that we are here and proud.”
