With the theme of “Identity and Beyond,” the Afro-Latino Festival NYC 2018 brought out hundreds to their three-day event. The festival wrapped at The Well in Brooklyn with performances by Brooklyn rapper LATASHA, singer, actress and Love & Hip Hop: Miami star Amara La Negra, and Afro-Colombian music group Palma Chonta, among others.
