Latin Events

We long for an exciting party each weekend and we got one this last Saturday.  Yes that is right, it was not a weekday event.  We could all sleep in the next day and really stay out late if we wanted to.  Luv Salsa put on what was termed a very classy party by all who attended.  They paid attention to details and delivered a premier type salsa event.  Hats off to you.

2006 promises to be a year that we keep the Salsa hot! and there is not better place than "Salsa Land" to do so. If you do not know what Salsa Land is then we would recommend you read last year's commentary. (Well if you can imagine Salsa Land expanded the dance space added 2 more dance floors). Half the Salsa in the City team was already in the City of Angels by early Friday and the other half arrived later that evening. We were all very hungry by 6pm LA time because that really meant it was 8pm Eastern Time? or was it that we already knew the kind of dancing that was coming very shortly.

The Philadelphia Hispanic Yellow Pages is on to something. The Philadelphia Hispanic Choice Awards event at the Kimmel Center was definitely the place to be on April 29th. In its third year of production, the Hispanic Choice Awards event was a well-orchestrated top-drawer event that is well on its way to becoming the region’s foremost award show honoring Philadelphia’s Hispanic community. What is even more impressive is that the community selects both the nominees and the award recipients, thus earning the name, “el premio de la gente”.

So I’m going to the LA Salsa congress! It’s going to be so much fun. What? No, what’s that? I didn’t know Spanish Harlem Orchestra was going to be doing a musicians seminar! You know they’re my favorite salsa band.

As the plane landed in the City of Angels for the Salsa in the City team, there was a keen awareness that the ultimate salsa experience was waiting. We were officially in "Salsa land"! What is "Salsa land"? I had only seen it on the Internet but others on the team had been here before and knew exactly what to expect. 2 full stages, 6 dance floor, 8-tent salsa Mecca complete with the hottest salsa dancers, performers and promoters in the world.
