Juan Fernando Velasco

SAT, SEP 14, 8 PM
LeFrak Concert Hall

The paramount figure in Ecuadorian pop music, Juan Fernando Velasco, is making a triumphant return to the stage with an intimate tour commemorating his 25-year solo career. This concert promises an unforgettable experience, blending the familiar strains of traditional pop – featuring electric guitars, piano, and drums –, with the rich melodies of Ecuadorian pasillos, underscored by classical guitars and requinto, and infused with the heartfelt essence of Andean music, embodied by instruments like charangomandolinaquena, and sampoñas.

Juan Fernando Velasco stands as a preeminent figure in Ecuadorian pop music, having significantly shaped the musical landscape of his native country over the past quarter-century. With the distinction of being nominated twice for the Latin Grammy Awards, securing an Emmy win, and amassing a plethora of gold and platinum records attesting to his exceptional sales, Velasco has firmly established himself both domestically and internationally as a foremost exponent of his craft.

Following a string of sold-out shows across Ecuador and Colombia totaling 19 captivating performances, Juan Fernando Velasco is set to captivate audiences in the United States this fall including a one-night-only performance at KCA. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this musical celebration, honoring an artist whose songs and voice have left an indelible mark on multiple generations.
