Forever Freestyle 16 at Lehman Center for the Performing Arts
Lehman Center for the Performing Arts in association with SAL ABBATIELLO of Fever Records presents the Latin-flavored dance music sensation FOREVER FREESTYLE 16 on Saturday, March 16, 2024 at 8pm. To Latino teenagers in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, Freestyle, a hybrid of Hip Hop and disco, was known simply as “Our Music.” Returning to Lehman Center for the sixteenth year in a row, the concert will feature performances by TKA, George LaMond, Judy Torres, Noel, The Cover Girls, Betty D Of Sweet Sensation, Cynthia, C-Bank, Coro, Safire, and Two Without Hats. Hosted by SAL ABBATIELLO & SPEEDY. Music by DJ LUCHO & DJ WHITEBOY KYS.

SAL ABBATIELLO, one of the pioneers of Hip Hop, discovered many rappers and DJs such as Grandmaster Flash, Kurtis Blow and Run-D.M.C. at the legendary night club Disco Fever. Abbatiello also owned The Devil’s Nest, a Bronx Latin dance club, where Latin Hip Hop was born and is now called Freestyle. There he discovered Little Louie Vega, TKA, The Cover Girls, Lisette Melendez and many more. He is now known as the “Godfather of Freestyle” and has been promoting Freestyle concerts for over 30 years.
