FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Thursday, May 9, 2019 Contact: Lindsay Salandra, Empire City Casino, [email protected] Abbey Ogden, [email protected], (212) 205-6633 Josh Knoller, [email protected], (212) 938-0836 Conjunto Imagen Celebrates 30th Anniversary and Nearly a Decade of Performing at Empire City Casino Sunday, May 26 (Yonkers, NY) – Get ready to salsa and shake on Sunday, May 26 with Conjunto Imagen, the tristate’s premier Puerto Rican salsa band, who will celebrate their 30th anniversary at Empire City Casino, Manhattan’s closest casino with one of the largest entertainment destinations in the northeast. Starting at 8:00 p.m., guests are invited to rumba, dance and enjoy the sounds of Latin music in the Entertainment Lounge. Admission will be complimentary. From playing major clubs in New York City such as the Copacabana and BB Kings Blues Club, to entertainment destinations like Empire City Casino where they have performed for nearly a decade, Conjunto Imagen has been spicing up the tristate for years. The band was founded in 1989 and features 13 members from all over the world. Together they have produced 12 albums and have traveled and performed in Puerto Rico, Canada, Boston, and Washington D.C., among other cities in the U.S. “We’re excited to celebrate our 30th anniversary at Empire City Casino, where we’ve been fortunate enough to build such a loyal fan base over the years. It’s an honor to continue to bring Latin music and culture to such an established destination,” said Ernie Acevedo, Conjunto Imagen’s Leader and General Manager. “Since I was nine years old I always knew I wanted to be a musician, but never did I imagine I’d be playing with 12 other musicians for 30 consecutive years. It’ll certainly be a night to remember.” Empire City’s Latin Night has become a cultural hotspot drawing people of all ages and backgrounds together through the different styles of Latin music. Every Sunday, Empire City turns its Entertainment Lounge into a Latin music destination. Conjunto Imagen has been a community staple for Latin Night attendees for nearly 10 years. Their eccentric sambas and salsas continue to excite Empire City guests. Empire City Casino, Manhattan’s closest casino, is only a short drive from the Bronx River Pkwy, New York State Route 9A and George Washington Bridge and is easily accessible via Metro North, Bus, Shuttle Bus and more (exact point-to-point directions provided here).
