20 Years of MAXIMA ALERTA

Today, June 20, 2019 MAXIMA ALERTA celebrates its 20th year. It's been an amazing journey for everyone involved. From a group of childhood friends getting together to form the group in Santa Clara, Villa Clara, CUBA on June 20, 1999 to 2019 in New York City. Along the way there were many hardships, sacrifices, tears, separations, and LOVE. But the music lives on. MAXIMA ALERTA forever!!!
