Megarumba to support those in need of food and medicine in Venezuela

Megarumba to support those in need of food and medicine in Venezuela

SWARM and iHeart’s TU 94.9 have partnered for the second year in a row to bring MegaRumba, the largest Latin American celebration in Miami, to Wynwood Marketplace, 2250 NW Second Ave.

Several years ago, MegaRumba was created as a festival and concert to celebrate Colombian Independence Day. However, as the event has expanded in popularity, so has its fanbase; promoting the unity, pride, and well-being of all Latin American countries. From Colombia and Cuba to Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, this festival is for every culture.

On Friday, July 20, MegaRumba welcomes everyone to join in on this celebration, which includes a wide array of the best music, flavors, dancing, arts, and Latin culture.

This year, MegaRumba will be raising funds in support of the Cuatro Por Venezuela Foundation, which has been fighting hunger, illness, and poverty in Venezuela since 2016. This festival of Independence for all Hispanic cultures welcomes everyone to join in this single collective celebration, thereby, allowing everyone to enjoy the Latin festivities.

For the first time ever in the U.S., Danny Ocean will perform “Me Rehúso” at MegaRumba. Also performing live is Sofia Reyes, winner of an MTV Millennial, Latin Grammy and iHeart Media Award, as well as Grammy and Latin Grammy nominated bilingual Latin band, Locos Por Juana. Venezuelan singer/actor Victor Drija and Nicole Favre and Colombian Reggaeton singer/songwriter, Feid, also will join iHeart radio’s ever-popular deejays on center stage.

In addition, there will be food trucks, arts and craft vendors, and several fully stocked bars, offering everything from Bud Light and mixed drinks to specialty flavored mojitos by Cruzan.

The festival will run from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. and will continue to be free to enjoy. With the purchase of a $10 donation ticket, people can help Venezuela, but also enjoy a free Bud Light and shot from the giant Aguardiente Ice Luge ($19 value). Cuatro Por Venezuela Foundation will receive 100 percent of that ticket, so they may continue to provide educational, medical, and nutritional aid to Venezuelans in need.

“Venezuela is under a profound humanitarian crisis, and we want to do something about it,” said Tony Albelo, SWARM CEO. “One of the great things about Miami is our ethnic unity and getting to witness the neighborly love as the melting pot of Latin cultures come together in times of need. We are eager to help in this time of desperation in Venezuela and are excited to contribute towards uniting others in helping as well.”

South Florida has the largest concentration of Venezuelans in the United States, and SWARM is hoping to make a positive impact towards getting Venezuela some much needed help.
