The Venezuelan capital welcomed the new year with a series of simultaneous mega-concerts that are part of Caracas Retumba and took place in Plaza Bolívar, Plaza Francia de Altamira and the Great Wall of Petare.
The day featured a lineup of national and international stars that brought together thousands of citizens in a celebration marked by civility and joy.
Furthermore, this year’s musical offering stood out for its diversity and quality, so the vallenato genre had Jean Carlos Centeno as its greatest exponent; while the Caribbean and tropical rhythm vibrated with the presentations of Magic Juan, Sergio Vargas and Bonny Cepeda.
Salsa occupied a privileged place in the program with performances by Alex de Castro, Banny Kosta, Magia Caribeña and the Corazón Salsero group. For its part, the merengue made the attendees dance under the voices of Omar Enrique, Omar Acedo, Las Chicas del Can and Mery Tu Loba.
Youth talent and bagpipe tradition
The youth sector enjoyed a high-level pop and urban proposal. The stages welcomed La Melodía Perfecta, Xuxo, Mabel Yeah, Los Cadillac’s, El Potrillo and Gio Fernández, who completed an evening full of energy.
As is tradition, the Venezuelan bagpipe was the protagonist of the moments prior to the arrival of the new year. The renowned performer Neguito Borjas was in charge of offering his repertoire before the emblematic midnight cannon shot, which closed the 2025 artistic program with a flourish.
Likewise, the coordination of the security forces allowed the population to enjoy the concerts in peace, which consolidates these spaces as fundamental meeting points for culture and healthy recreation in the city.
