We Are Zona Libre!
By Vilmarie Méndez
Zona Libre is a musical group composed of four people from Puerto Rico. For many years, each member of our band has participated in the musical field as singer and musician. Their wish to do something different and something that would please the American and Hispanic communities have been their common goal and what resulted in the creation of Zona Libre.
Many people ask, “Why Zona Libre?” The reason is very simple. We wanted to break all the stereotypes, we wanted to touch people’s hearts! We all miss our native land, we want to listen to our music and relive pleasant moments and that is why Zona Libre wants to become the main character in each experience. Each activity and each audience renews our vocation and makes us love it more.
Loving our music frees us and allows us to reach the most important public, the dancing public. There’s no music style that limits us, no zone that we might not reach because music is our passion, our fullfillment and our freedom!
NOTE FROM THE EDITOR: I had the pleasure of coordinating the presentation of Zona Libre at Hispanic Fest 2017, an event that belongs to United for a Good Cause, a not for profit organization. There, the group demonstrated their great talent and love for our community and the Festival was a huge success and raised funds for a needy children Christmas Fiesta.
I also had the pleasure of watching them perform at Festival Latino in Pensacola back in November. Without a doubt, they are a band that the public likes a lot and we highly recommend them for your next special event, wedding, or celebration where you are looking to provide a great time for your guests. They are most definitely musicians and able to play music for all tastes!
