Levitt VIBE Chicago Free Concert Series — Concert 6 of 10
Saturday, July 25, 2026 · 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM Riis Park · Behind the Field House · 6100 W. Fullerton Ave., Chicago FREE · All Ages · Open to the Public
Venezuela is one of the most musically diverse nations on Earth — a country whose soul lives in its rhythms, from the ancient drums of the Afro-Venezuelan coast to the contemporary sounds of a diaspora that has carried that musical heritage across the world. Tonight, that story comes alive right here in Belmont Cragin.
The Levitt VIBE Chicago Music Series presents Una Noche Venezolana — a multi-act spectacular celebrating the full spectrum of Venezuelan music, supported by Panas en Chicago, Chicago’s own Venezuelan community nonprofit. Five acts. One stage. One unforgettable evening.
No tickets. No cover. Come early and stay for all of it.
🥁 Tamanaco Tambor
The heartbeat of Venezuela, live and in full force. Tamanaco Tambor brings the ancient power of tambor venezolano — the Afro-Venezuelan drum tradition rooted in the rhythms of the Congo, carried across the Atlantic and transformed into one of South America’s most spiritually resonant musical forms. With the deep pulse of the cumaco drum, the ring of the campana, and the call-and-response of voices that have been singing these songs for centuries, Tamanaco Tambor opens the evening with something primal, communal, and completely alive. This is where Venezuelan music begins.
🎸 Sol Five Band
Sol Five Band is Chicago’s Venezuelan rock powerhouse — and with a lineup this deep, the stage has no choice but to catch fire. Formed by Venezuelan musicians who brought their roots from Barquisimeto, Caracas, Mérida, and Timotes to the streets of Chicago, the band fuses rock, Latin rhythms, funk, and urban sounds into a live experience that hits hard and moves fast. Guitarist George “Yoyi” Rodríguez brings 25+ years of everything from metal to cumbia. Bassist Jesús Pacheco locks in a groove that blends Anglo rock with R&B edge. Percussionist Juan Pablo Flores adds Afro-Venezuelan authenticity with congas, bongos, and beatmaker instincts. Drummer Antonio Marín brings 20+ years of Latin-rock-funk precision. And at the center of it all stands Miah Rose — a Venezuelan vocalist who started competing at age 12, has racked up over 20 first-place awards, won the 2025 National Singing Stars Competition in the U.S., went viral on TikTok with over 25 million views, and opened for Wisin & Yandel in Colombia. Sol Five Band isn’t just a band — they’re a statement.
🎤 MOXI VZ
Chicago knows this voice. MOXI VZ is a Venezuelan urban Latin artist who has made the city his creative home — even immortalizing it in his track Chicago de Noche — while building a catalog of contemporary Latin sounds that move fluidly between the rhythms of Venezuela and the pulse of a global diaspora. With a string of singles and features that have earned him a growing following on streaming platforms, MOXI VZ represents the next chapter of Venezuelan music: modern, personal, and rooted in the lived experience of a community that has crossed oceans and borders without ever losing its identity.
🎵 Andrés Correa
Andrés Correa is a musician who defies a single label. A DJ, producer, composer, singer, percussionist, and arranger all at once, he has spent his career — launched in Maracaibo, Venezuela in 2015 — building something rare: a complete artistic identity that holds up in the studio, behind the decks, and center stage. His sets are crafted experiences, weaving Afro House, Deep Tech, Latin, and House into long, flowing narratives that feel less like a playlist and more like a conversation with the crowd. Versatile by nature and precise by discipline, Correa brings a producer’s ear and a performer’s instincts to every project — an artist who is always evolving, always pushing, and impossible to put in a box.
🎶 JV Ninety
JV Ninety is Chicago’s Venezuelan voice in the urban underground — and he’s just getting started. Originally from Caracas and now rooted in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood, this rapper, producer, and community builder has carved out a lane that is entirely his own, blending hip-hop, trap, reggaetón, dembow, and experimental urban sounds into music that is as spiritually charged as it is street-sharp. Signed to Venezuelan-American label Chi Caribbean Productions and founder of Los Caribeños Studio — a growing creative hub for Chicago’s Latino independent artists — JV Ninety isn’t just making music, he’s building a movement. Inspired by Mac Miller, Tyler the Creator, and Venezuelan lyrical giants Akapellah and Mcklopedia, his work is introspective, fearless, and rooted in a deep commitment to community and truth.
