Why the Super Concierto is the Crown Jewel of the Feria de Cali
The Feria de Cali, held annually from December 25th to December 30th, is a cultural phenomenon, but the Super Concierto stands out as its most commercially significant and globally recognized event. It is the definitive "descarga salsera" that attracts international attention to the city of Cali.
The concert is strategically positioned on December 27th, typically the third day of the Feria, ensuring maximum energy and attendance. The choice of the Estadio Pascual Guerrero, a massive venue, underscores the scale and importance of this musical gathering.
It’s an event where generations of salsa fans—from those who grew up with the classics of El Gran Combo to younger fans who follow the new wave of Latin artists—come together to celebrate a shared musical heritage. The presence of both Panamanian (Rubén Blades) and Puerto Rican (Víctor Manuelle, El Gran Combo, La Sonora Ponceña) legends alongside Colombia's own Grupo Niche creates a powerful pan-Latin American musical dialogue.
