(CNN Spanish) – Music festivals continue to boom in the United States and this Tuesday a specific one was announced for the Latino community, “Bésame Mucho”.
The name of that famous bolero by Consuelo Velázquez serves as a meeting point for lovers of Latin American rock, pop or regional Mexican music and cumbia.
The first edition of the festival will be held on December 3, 2022 at Dodgers Stadium in Los Angeles. Like other festivals, “Bésame Mucho” will offer three platforms and in each of them you can enjoy different genres. Perhaps the curious or striking thing about this one in particular is that there is no reggaeton.
