Nuestros sonidos (Our Sounds)

October 2024–May 2025

Carnegie Hall’s 2024–2025 season was enlivened by Nuestros sonidos (Our Sounds)—a joyous celebration of the vibrant sounds, pioneering rhythms, endlessly diverse traditions, and enormous influence of Latin culture in the United States, including vital contributions from the Caribbean. Concerts at the Hall featured musical styles that range from salsa, bachata, and Latin jazz to reggaeton, hip-hop, música mexicana, classical, and so much more, highlighting the game-changing contributions and constant evolution of Latin music from the 1930s to today, with a special focus on genres that have developed and thrived in the US. Our celebration also included public events hosted by cultural institutions in New York City and beyond.

Grupo Niche: “Una Aventura”

From Colombia to New York City, the members of Grupo Niche took to our largest stage for their Carnegie Hall debut! As part of Nuestros sonidos, our celebration of Latin culture in the US, the legendary salsa orchestra showcased its evolution and enduring impact on the genre through hits like “Una Ventura.”

Based in Cali, Colombia, often called the “Salsa Capital of the World,” this ensemble has been creating genuine classics since the late 1970s. The group’s most recent successes—including Latin Grammys for Best Salsa Album (2020 and 2023) and Best Tropical Latin Album (2021)—show the musicians’ remarkable evolution and vitality.
