As part of National Hispanic Heritage Month, Miami Dade College’s (MDC) Wolfson Campus, in collaboration with the College’s award-winning television station MDC-TV, will present a tribute to MDC Hall of Famer and Miami sensation Willy Chirino, now celebrating 50 extraordinary years in the music business. Guest musicians performing Chirino’s music will include Carlos Oliva, Lena Burke and Lucy Grau. The MDC Foundation will present Chirino with a lifetime achievement award.
