Berea’s Fiesta de Mayo celebration “Una Noche Caliente con Grupo Fuego,” is scheduled May 6, from 9:30 p.m. – 1 a.m. on Main Street in the College Square area of campus. This family event will feature the music of Salsa and Merengue band “Grupo Fuego,” moonwalks for the children, a dance competition, along with food and drinks.

The annual community event, sponsored by the Hispanic Student Association at Berea College, is free of charge and open to the public.

“Grupo Fuego” (which means The Fire Group) was formed in the fall of 1999 and is from Cleveland, Ohio. They are very lucky to have a group of musicians that has remained constant over the years and who have given the band its powerful sound. They have come a long way from their humble roots and have grown in popularity along just as Latin Music has grown more popular. Their fan base covers all ages and ethnic groups due to the energy of its performances. The band has performed at Latino and multi-cultural festivals and at other events throughout the mid-west, Pennsylvania and New York.
