CARNAVAL MIAMI IS BACK featuring Latin Grammy-winning musical sensation GENTE DE ZONA as Kings of Carnaval Miami 2024

Alexander Delgado Hernandez and Randy Malcom Martinez, the talented duo known as GENTE DE ZONA, are not only musical icons but also our Kings of Carnaval Miami 2024. Winners of 7 Latin GRAMMYs and 12 Latin Billboards, they made history as the first Cuban duo to top Billboard’s HOT Latin Songs chart.

Originating as a street rap collective in Cuba, GENTE DE ZONA has evolved into one of the most renowned duos globally. Their collaboration on “Bailando” with Enrique Iglesias and Descemer Bueno dominated 2014. In 2015, they achieved massive success with Marc Anthony on hits like “La Gozadera” and “Traidora.“ To add to the excitement, GENTE DE ZONA has just premiered their new song “Por Ahí,” a tune with an extremely catchy rhythm that will get all fans of the multi-award-winning artists dancing. Beyond their chart-topping achievements, GENTE DE ZONA has collaborated with international stars such as Kylie Minogue, Thalia, Pitbull, Jennifer Lopez, Carlos Vives, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Gerardo Ortiz, Carlos Rivera, and Deorro.

Join us in celebrating their extraordinary musical journey as they reign as our Kings of Carnaval Miami 2024!
