Dance like nobody’s watching with La Verdad! Enjoy an evening with La Verdad, a premier West Coast–based Latin music ensemble deeply rooted in the vibrant Latino experience of Los Angeles. Led by award-winning singer and songwriter Gabriel Gonzalez (Quetzal, Boogaloo Assassins), La Verdad brings together world-class musicians in a dynamic fusion of traditional and original Latin American roots music.
Their diverse repertoire includes salsa, cha cha chá, boogaloo, funk, and Latin soul, delivering an electrifying live experience that resonates with audiences while celebrating cultural authenticity.
To celebrate the Summer of Salsa, Latin Gold Records will be putting out a special collection of Latin vinyl, ranging from Fania classics featuring Ray Barretto, Celia Cruz, and Johnny Pacheco as well as a range of mariachi, ranchera, bolero, and cumbia music from across the Latin comunidad.
Founded by the son of Cuban and Salvadoran immigrants, Latin Gold Records is an online record store and pop-up based in Los Angeles that specializes in Latin music and also curates everything that moves you, from rock to soul, funk to punk world to weird, and all the notes in between.
