Freily eL F’

An Atrium favorite since 2015, ¡VAYA! honors NYC's rich traditions of Latin dance and music with concerts programmed for true fans of the genre. New Jersey native Freily eL F' is a vibrant and talented voice in contemporary merengue. Raised in a Dominican household, Freily began playing tamboras and congas when he was only five, instilling a deep and early love for traditional Caribbean rhythms. After joining his first band in his teens, Freily's ascent as a producer and performer has been steady, with featured collaborations alongside industry favorites like Toby Love and Mala Fe. For his Lincoln Center debut, Freily eL F' will be joined by a full band to celebrate the release of his 2023 album Unplugged Volume 1, featuring the hit single "La Guerra".
