The world of merengue is preparing for a historic celebration.

This grand event will take place on September 23, 2026, at the Félix Sánchez Olympic Stadium.
The production, led by EW Shows, will feature an impressive lineup that will bring together more than 60 national and international artists, turning the venue into the epicenter of tropical music during a day that promises to mark a turning point in the industry.
The recognition of the Diva of Merengue
Miriam Cruz spared no praise when referring to the figure of Ramón Orlando, whom she describes as a fundamental pillar for the quality and energy of the genre. For the artist, participating in this tribute is a necessary privilege to recognize a master who has left an indelible mark.
The title of maestro says it all. For music, he is and has been a driving force for the quality, strength, and energy of our music. Throughout these 50 years, Ramón has achieved the internationalization of merengue with his compositions and his flavorful musical arrangements. I attest and bear witness to that with my greatest success, which is La Loba.

His talent as a composer and music producer has always been reflected with great professionalism, and he has been one of the most important producers of all time. It is a true pleasure and an honor to be part of this celebration where I will bring a fragment of my musical essence to embrace Ramón.
