Presented cabaret-style, the event will allow ticket holders to not only watch the music, but to get up and dance, too.
The event is presented in partnership with Musica Viva, and will be held at the Gunnedah Town Hall on Saturday, March 14 at 6.30pm.
Ay Pachanga celebrates the world's largest Latin label, Fania Records, and the music that made it famous.

Founded in New York in 1964, Fania Records produced Latin music stars such as Tito Puente, Celia Cruz, Ray Barreto, Willie Colon, and Ruben Blades, and showcased a melting pot of musical influences derived from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, America and Panama.
Music director Martin Taylor performs with a stellar line-up of top Australian musicians performing Latin boogaloo, salsa, and mambo - the Latin sounds of the 1960s and 1970s.
Joining them on stage are award-winning dancers in a colourful showcase, celebrating the street styles of Latin New York in the Fania era.
Guests should get ready to dance the night away with some of Sydney's best dancers.
Ticket holders will also have the opportunity to learn from those dancers too at the salsa lesson held prior to the concert.
Tickets are $33 for adults, $30 for concession holders, or $30 per ticket for a group of six or more.
Tickets can be purchase from the conservatorium website or by calling 6742 3998.
