Subject: Salsa Update #125: LA CONGRESS
INFO!
Hola Salseros!
Formatting messed
up? Read this on the website at
http://salsaboston.com/archive/SalsaUpdate125.html
Many
of you have been asking me what's up with LA and Cuba? Well, I
finally
got a chance to talk with Albert Torres, and here's the
scoop:
Cuba: there was supposed to be a congreso sometime in April,
and the US
Treasury Dept. had even approved the cultural exchange.
However,
because of the 9-11 events, the approval had been put put on
hold,
forcing the promoters to postpone the event indefinitely. This is
of
course very unfortunate, and hopefully the event will happen some
day
soon.
LA: Pack your bags, turn on your email auto-reply, and let's
go!
West Coast Salsa Congress
LAX Hilton Hotel / Hollywood Park
Casino
May 23-26, 2002
Albert tells me this year is going to be better
than ever, with many
improvements. Many of the events, particularly all
the workshops, are
happening at the Hilton Hotel, with only the night time
concerts at the
Hollywood Park Casino. Shorter shows, more dance space,
and an all star
lineup of dancers and instructors. Plus... want to see
some great
concerts? Check out these bands!
"Oscar D’
Leon"
"Jose Alberto "El Canario"
"La Sonora Carruseles"
"Revolucion
Juvenil", Puerto Rico
"Ray De La Paz", New York
Okay, here's the
deal:
because we had 22 people there last year and yours truly's ties
wih
Albert...
