Top 10 Latin Music Concerts - September, 2006

by Tijana Ilich

September and the Harvest moon will be shining down on these ten great performers as they cross the country on their musical tours. I notice that there are a number of them in Las Vegas. What a great twofer - sizzling Latin music and Las Vegas night life in one big package. Put a dollar in the slots for me - we'll share the winnings!

1. Shakira

The ever popular Shakira is winding down her tour this month, but if you're in the southern U.S., there's still a lot of dates available.

Schedule

2. Ricardo Arjona

While in Central America, the music of Ricardo Arjona was everywhere - in restaurants, buses, clubs, internet cafes - wherever people were gathered and music played. This month you can hear this articulate, street poet for youself.

Sep. 1 - Rosemont, IL, Rosemont Theatre
Sep. 3 - San Jose, CA, HP Pavilion at San Jose
Sep. 7 - Tucson, AZ, Ava Anselmo Valencia Amphitheater
Sep. 8,9 - Universal City, CA, Gibson Amphitheatre
Sep. 10 - Chula Vista, CA, Coors Amphitheatre

3. Juan Gabriel

Juan Gabriel was injured last year falling from a stage during a concert. That's meant cancelled performances since then, but it looks good for these three dates in Sept.

Sep. 15,16 - Las Vegas, NV, The Colosseum at Caesars Palace
Sep. 17 - Reno, NV, Reno Hilton Amphitheatre
Sep. 30 - Anaheim, CA, Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim

4. Paulina Rubio

Paulina Rubio and her album Pau-Latina are really hot right now. Hopefully it won't be too hot in Tucson to go hear a great entertainer.

Sep. 16 - Tucson, AZ, Ava Anselmo Valencia Amphitheater

5. Alejandro Fernandez

Alejandro Fernandez can sing a mean ranchera with his father Vicente, but pop music is more his style. Great voice, charismatic personality and sex appeal will all be waiting for you in his one Las Vegas concert.

Sep. 16 - Las Vegas, NV, Mandalay Bay Resort

6. Obie Bermudez

Pop singer Bermudez has had a great run with his current album, Todo El Ano. His new one, Lo Que Trajo El Barco is going to be released soon. You'll probably get to hear songs from both at this NY concert.

Sep. 29 - New York, NY, S.O.B.'s

7. Musica Fresca

Hip-hop's Akwid, reggaeton's Voltio, New York funk fusion band Yerba Buena and Latin rock's Radio Mundial are the headliners of this magical musical tour.

Schedule

8. Pepe Aguilar

Mexican Pepe Aguilar is a true slashee. He's a singer / songwriter/ musicians / composer / producer that mixes traditional ranchera with more modern rhythms and has won the heart of much of the Latin world.

Sep. 15 - Las Vegas, NV, Mandalay Bay Resort
Sep. 16 - Santa Barbara, CA, Santa Barbara Bowl
