Celebrate Mexican Independence At Paramount's Great America

Santa Clara, CA -- Celebrate Mexican Independence Day with the San Jose Earthquakes and some of the hottest Latin artists for a concert in the Redwood Amphitheater on Saturday Sept. 16 at Paramount's Great America.

Latin Grammy-nominated Puerto-Rican quartet Son by Four bring their tropical sounds for an exciting performance of salsa, "soneros" and R&B. Already No. 1 on The Billboard Latin 50 album and Hot Latin Tracks charts for a record-breaking 17 consecutive weeks, Son by Four's latest album and single are quickly rising to the top of the U.S. pop charts and their song "Purest of Pain (A Puro Dolor)" is already a top forty hit on The Billboard Hot 100.

Jam to the soulful harmonies of vocal quartet NU-Flavor. Having recorded their self-titled debut in Spanish and English, NU-Flavor released It's On! with the hits "Sprung," "3 Little Words" and "From This Day," a duet with superstar Britney Spears.

Taste the freestyle "flava" with hot Latin singer Angelina. Ever since her hits "Release Me" and "Without Your Love" took over dance floors a few years ago, Angelina has become the "Queen" of the freestyle-sound and her new CD Ven a Mi (Come to Me) continues her reign with hits "Just Another Day," "Every Time I Think of You" and the Latin Billboard Awards-nominated "Bailando."

14-year-old singing sensation Adriana performs her new hit "Until Tomorrow" and other songs from her upcoming self-titled debut album.
