Since their launch in 2015, Latin GRAMMY® nominee CNCO, composed of Richard Camacho, Erick Brian Colón, Zabdiel De Jesús, Joel Pimentel, and Christopher Vélez, have become one of Latin pop's most influential and prolific hit-makers. With two number No. 1 albums under their belt, the group has garnered numerous awards. With over 3 billion cumulative streams, 6.5 billion total music video views, 12 gold and platinum certifications in the U.S. alone and countless sold out shows, their influence can be felt in nearly every corner of the globe.
Latin GRAMMY-nominated and GRAMMY®-winning Frost School of Music faculty member Dafnis Prieto will be leading an elite ensemble comprised of Frost School of Music students as well as Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation scholars to open the concert with a virtuosic performance of Latin jazz leading into the acoustic performance by CNCO.
"I am thrilled to be part of this very special evening that unites the Frost School of Music and the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation building a cultural bridge among students from around the country, creating music for a great cause. How exciting for these talented young musicians to be opening for CNCO who will grace our stage with a rare acoustic performance. I’d also like to thank the members of CNCO for taking the time out of their hectic schedule and donating their time," stated Dafnis Prieto, Assistant Professor Professional Practice and MacArthur Fellow.
"We are thankful to the Frost School of Music for allowing us to participate in their prestigious Frost Music Live Signature Series, and to CNCO for generously joining us in our cause," said Manolo Díaz, Sr. Vice President of the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation. "CNCO is one of the hottest Latin bands right now, and I know this event will be a great success, helping us to continue growing our scholarship programs."
