Our Latin Groove

Latin dances have never “ been away”. The popular Cuban music has been ever so prominent beginning with the overwhelming success of “ El Manicero” on Broadway in 1932 right on through to today’s Puerto Rican and Cuban Hip Hop scene. Caracas – Amsterdammer Gerardo Rosales, composer, percussionist and bandleader has dug deep into this music from the 50’s, 60’s and the 70’s and has come down with some real funky SALSA! Salsa, according to musicologist and percussionist Bobby Sanabria is “Cuban music with a friggin’ New York attitude”.* And besides the 70’s Salsa, he brought it all on back and gave the sixties Shingaling and Latin Boogaloo a ‘ second life’. The sounds of a unique musical era in New York City: Son Montuno with a back beat. It’s all here, inspired artists giving us dancers the rhythms we yearn for. ¡Vaya! Doctor Salsa and Ms Salsa.
