Overview

Legendary merengue star Wilfrido Vargas in concert – 40th Anniversary Tour
Wilfrido Vargas, a bandleader, trumpeter, vocalist, arranger, composer and producer who was instrumental in making the merengue style a worldwide phenomenon will play Charlotte for the first time on Friday June 5 at the Neighborhood Theatre.
With over 50 albums recorded and more than 40 years of history, Vargas is one of the best-known merengue singers in the world with hits that have become anthems and are essential in any Latin American celebration. His hit single, "El Barbarazoí," helped touch off a worldwide merengue craze, providing exposure for scores of Dominican artists.
Outside of the merengue genre, Vargas also made a major contribution to the Fania All-Stars, joining them for their historic performances in Cuba in 1979 and contributing to the recording of the All Stars' Habana Jam album, recorded March 3 of that year at a concert in Havana.
Today, Vargas is one of the best-known merengue singers in the world.
