Earth, Wind and Fire to headline Aruba Music Festival

Soul legends, Earth, Wind and Fire are set to turn the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba into a ‘Boogie Wonderland’ at the eighth annual Aruba Music Festival, from October 9 - 10, 2009.

Latin songstress Paulina Rubio, one of the world’s top-selling female Latin pop artists, and Columbian singer Fonseca, will add some spice to the annual music festival which takes place at the Aruba Entertainment Center in downtown Oranjestad, Aruba’s colourful capital.
