The 2025 iHeartRadio Fiesta Latina brought together major Latin music artists for a concert at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida on October 25. The event featured performances from Gilberto Santa Rosa, Morat, Kapo, Oscar D’León, Danny Ocean, Olga Tañón, Chyno y Nacho, Elvis Crespo, DJ Nelson and Lenier.
Enrique Santos, President and Chief Creative Officer of iHeartLatino and on-air talent for iHeartRadio, hosted the event. During the evening, Gilberto Santa Rosa received the iHeartRadio Corazón Latino Award presented by State Farm.
Gilberto Santa Rosa was recognized for his long-standing contributions to salsa music. The award highlighted his influence over more than forty years in the industry and acknowledged his role in shaping salsa music globally. “This award celebrates not only his unmatched vocal talent and career trajectory, but also his enduring role in shaping the sound and soul of salsa music around the world,” according to the event organizers.
The concert was streamed live by ViX—owned by TelevisaUnivision—making it accessible to viewers across the United States, Latin America and other Spanish-speaking regions worldwide. In addition to streaming on ViX, various iHeartMedia Spanish-language radio stations broadcasted the event live nationwide as well as through digital platforms such as Beso, El Patron and Salsa Bembe.
Several notable moments took place during the festival. Lenier opened with an energetic set that engaged attendees early in the night. Chyno y Nacho performed some of their most popular songs while Danny Ocean delivered a performance set against visuals of tropical landscapes. Olga Tañón led a dance-filled segment with her classic hits. Kapo’s stage show included pyrotechnics alongside his own songs.
Morat energized fans with their harmonies while DJ Nelson played remixed tracks from well-known reggaeton artists before bringing out Christian Alicea for a special salsa medley. Gilberto Santa Rosa performed with a full band before receiving his award onstage.
Elvis Crespo’s set included both solo performances and collaborations with surprise guest Ebenezer Guerra; he also interacted directly with fans during “Suavemente.” Oscar D’León concluded the night with several songs accompanied by dancers.
The event was supported by sponsors including Audible, Boost Mobile, Celsius Energy Drinks, Goya Foods and State Farm.
