When the earth shakes, the Latino community answers. That's the spirit behind Unidos por los Nuestros, a benefit concert set for Sunday, August 16 at the Kaseya Center in Miami. The event brings together more than thirty of Latin music's biggest names to raise funds and awareness for communities hit by recent earthquakes in Venezuela and Colombia.
What began as a response to emergencies in Venezuela quickly expanded after a devastating 7.4-magnitude quake struck Colombia. Organizers broadened the mission, and now the concert stands as a continental show of solidarity. The show starts at 6:00 p.m. Eastern time, and fans across the Americas can tune in through a massive multiplatform broadcast.
A lineup that spans the region
The stage at the Kaseya Center will feature an impressive roster: Chayanne, Marc Anthony, Luis Fonsi, Karol G, Silvestre Dangond, Olga Tañón, and many more. Also confirmed are Gente de Zona, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Ricardo Montaner, Mau y Ricky, Piso 21, Micro TDH, and rising voices like Elena Rose and Joaquina. The mix of veteran icons and fresh talent reflects the diversity of Latin music itself—from salsa and reggaeton to pop and ballad.
Beyond the performances, the broadcast will include survivor testimonies and updates on rescue efforts, giving viewers a direct connection to the people the event aims to help. As Marc Anthony posted on social media, "La música tiene el poder de sanar y unirnos cuando más lo necesitamos."
This isn't the first time the community has rallied after a disaster. Colombian artists have already been organizing relief, and this concert amplifies those efforts on a larger stage.
How to help beyond the concert
For those who can't attend in person, donations can be made through the official event platform and partner foundations. Local organizations like Global Empowerment Mission have set up collection centers in Doral and New York to gather supplies for earthquake victims in both countries. The effort shows that solidarity isn't just a hashtag—it's a network of action.
The concert also highlights how Miami serves as a hub for Latino culture and philanthropy. Miami's evolving landscape continues to shape how the diaspora connects, and events like this reinforce the city's role as a bridge between the Americas.
For those following the broader impact, the quake has reignited conversations about seismic risk across the region. And in a sign of how deeply the disaster has touched daily life, CONMEBOL postponed Copa Libertadores and Sudamericana matches scheduled in Colombia.
Unidos por los Nuestros is more than a concert—it's a reminder that when crisis hits, the Latino community shows up. Whether through music, donations, or simply spreading the word, every bit helps rebuild lives and bring hope to those who need it most.
