Looks like this year’s Calibash Los Angeles' Staples Center was a blast for Carlos Vives, Pitbull, Becky G, Don Omar amongst many other artists. The concert Presented by SBS Entertainment, AEG Live and Mega 96.3, is known as the leading urban Latin music festival in the world. It was completely sold out to a new generation of Latinos who are gaining further economic reach and the artists are looking to connect with. "L.A. is my number one market," said Pitbull to the roaring crowd before performing some of his biggest hits like “Give Me Everything,” “Timber,” “Time of Our Lives” and “Don’t Stop the Party” to close the show.

The concert’s seventh edition also brought in a wave of new Latino artists such as Wisin, Gente D’ Zona, J. Alvarez, Farruko and Maluma, amongst other first-timers, before Colombian superstar, Carlos Vives, performed some of his biggest hits such as "Volví a Nacer" and "El Mar de Sus Ojos." Afro-Colombian hip-hop group ChocQuibTown joined Vives onstage for the latter song, leaving the audience super excited and ready for Pitbull, as they were the two last performers. Both veterans gave the show a blast of an ending, no doubt leaving fans craving next year’s show.
