Turlock—Hispanic
music lovers have the opportunity
to salsa under the stars at the Stanislaus County
Fair.
An
evening concert of Hispanic music, sponsored by the
Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, is the fourth ever
concert targeted at lovers of latin music.
The concert is slated for Sunday, July 27, at
5 p.m.
“The
fair features music of every style—from country,
to Christian, to rock to Hispanic,” said Pennie
Rorex, Stanislaus County fair spokesperson.
The
concert, which is scheduled to last five hours, has
four popular acts, including Conjunto
Primavera,
Raza Obrera, Mariachi Divas and Groupo Bugarin.

Primavera is one of the leading Norteno groups in
the United States and Mexico and is known for their

Obrera is a 5-piece band hailing from Aguililla,
Michoacan. Their recent hit album features songs

is a five-man band with some of Mexico’s hottest
young talent included in their numbers. Their recent
album features fan favorites such as “Senorita
Sexy” and “Solo Tu.”
