"
When it comes to hosting a party, there are three things Latinos never forget to include food, music and dance, and for this and so much more, we celebrate the music and dance of our culture and help to bring together thousands of fans from around the globe to NYC's greatest dance floor!" said Rafael Toro, Director of Public Relations of Goya Foods.
Sponsor T-Mobile will also host free dance lessons and parties at the T-Mobile flagship store in Times Square from Thursday to Sunday afternoons. The event is in partnership with the 2019 People En Español Festival, which will return to New York City October 5-6 to celebrate Hispanic celebrities, culture and communities during Hispanic Heritage Month.
