I'd pick:

Marc Anthony
Mambo Kings
Ricardo arjona
Mana
Manu chao
DLG (they'd reunite for latin fest ok)
Illegales (playing only their good hits)
Projecto 1 (el tiburon)

The people who play the "Espantoso" music tracks GTA: vice city. I love those.
Un poco de Eros, some ricky martin, a dash of Jlo, and carlos vives

Someone paying homage to Buena Vista Social Club and tito puente. Some shakira, some gloria estefan, Paulina rubio.

Now that would be the ultimate latin fest.

I'm telling you...if you like that hardcore tight salsa sound with the ol' skool twist, you should check them out EVERY Friday at: Cervejaria Downtown842 College St (Just west of Ossington on the North side)LIVE band for ONLY $5!!!! NOOOOO DRESS CODEDJ'ed by yours truly...lol (seriously)..lolNo attitude and simply humble people...

I agree with you on this one. I went to see them. We'd gone to see Tumbao and I was so, but so disappointed. I really, really wanted to like these guys, with all the hype and buzz going around about them, and I don't know if it was the sound, the place, the atmosphere, but I just didn't feel them that night. I'm sure this doesn't matter, 'cause a lot of people did, but we left early and the night was young so we decided to go check out Cervejaria. It was so worth the trip. We had so much fun, danced the night away and had a really great time. The guy, I don't know his name, Cuban guy, really gets the crowd going. It was a fun, fun night.

As for other acts, I'd bring Kumbia Kings, but with Ozomatli, 'cause I'd like to see them perform Mi Gente. Orishas is a good choice too. I love those guys. Locally, I'd like to see Eliana Cuevas perform on a big stage. And of course I'd include Plan C.

Charanga Habanera & Spanish Harlem Orchestra would not draw in a crowd for a Latin Fest in Toronto.......you gotta think like a promoter trying to make $$$$.....putting any hype kinda "tracatra" music....LOL

I would also put QBANITO.....(montreal/miami, cuban talent)

I think 1 Big name would do the trick.....and a bunch of fillers.....

BIG BOY would also be a good come back option.....did you guys see him @ the Don "lloron" Omar concert? HE STOLE THE SHOW!

Dats my ladybug!! Yeah not just because I play in that band but those dudes are sick! I'm telling you...if you like that hardcore tight salsa sound with the ol' skool twist, you should check them out EVERY Friday at:

Cervejaria Downtown
842 College St (Just west of Ossington on the North side)
LIVE band for ONLY $5!!!!
NOOOOO DRESS CODE
DJ'ed by yours truly...lol (seriously)..lol
No attitude and simply humble people...

Son Ache carries (for me) the best musicians for that genre in the city (asides my band..lol)
Naw but seriously.....there's MAD TALENT in that roster.

Here's review from Toronto.com and Cervejaria scores 4 out of 4 stars in ambience, food, service and value.

http://www.toronto.com/profile/584793/?cr_index=1

Check it out.....only $5!...lol

Anyway, I don't wanna get off topic here. If I would pick the acts for the Latin Fest I would bring:

Reggaeton: Daddy Yankee or Tego Calderon:
Local Act: Fito Blanko or Qbanito

Merengue: Aguakate or a good merengue tipico band like Maria Diaz or Jose El Calvo
Local Act: Tumbao Inc. or reunite Banda Bella

Salsa: La Charanga Habanera or Spanish Harlem Orchestra
Local Acts: Son Ache or P-Crew

Bachata: Monchy y Alexandra or Aventura
Local Acts: Alex Bello or Xtasis ( I love Carlos Cruz but daaaaamn he's like City TV --"EVERYWHERE!")

Lo Demas: Alejandro Sanz or Mana
Local Acts: Plan C, Gardenias, Dirty Maria, Marcelo Treviño

Damn we should make a 2 day event and bring all these muthafukkas out!!!!!

mad luv

(oops OTRA novela...lol)

@ Caliche: do you mean Cache OR Son Ache? SON ACHE sounds a lot better.....

LaDyBuG · Comandante

Well AMARFIS isn't the greatest choice for Merengue either you know....LOL

I have TUMBAO for Merengue.....

But if it has to be International, then SERGIO VARGAS.....only the best @ my festival...lol

Heyyy....but doesn't Juan Luis Guerra qualify as Merengue too??

No Amarfis, No Fulanito, No Krisspy, No Mala Fe........none of that!

To me, Merengue died when these guys came into play......they are 1 or by luck 2 hit wonders

To keep the females alive, i would bring Olga Tanon or Milly Quezada (new album out)

Caliche · TOP Guru

IMMA PUT 2 TO EACH CATEGORY...JUST CUZ IF ONE IS BOOKED THAN THE OTHER WILL DO..

BACHATA: DL1 & AVENTURA

SALSA: TONY TUN TUN ( the guy that sings OTRA NOCHE) and that group ACHE ( the guys from Lula Lounge, really good percussion)

REGGAETON: HECTOR "EL BAMBINO" and WISIN & YANDEL

MERENGUE: AMARFIS (hands down the best group to date) and ORO SOLIDO

sabornuevo · Guru

hey what happened to merengue!!!!

LaDyBuG · Comandante

Daddy Yankee would be the #1 choice.....I would invest all the Festival's budget just on him......but since he's not an option....here it goes:

NOTE: These are not my favorites, but I'm thinking like a promoter would, trying to make $$$ and please the crowd, because if it was up to me I would NOT bring Don Omar

Monchy y Alexandra OR Aventura (Bachata)

Tego Calderon OR Don Omar (Reggaeton)

Victor Manuelle OR Marc Anthony (Salsa)

Juan Luis Guerra OR Ruben Blades (Tropical Legends)

MANA (Latin Rock)

Orishas (Cuban Latin Hip Hop)

MC: PITBULL (Perfect Hypeman)

LOCALS: Ricky Franco, Criollo, Fito Blanko, Tumbao & Alex Bello

Actually for LOCALS I would give EVERYONE a second of fame.....
