Did you make it over to Harvard last Saturday?  Great party, great crowd, great music!  Of course the bottomless free sangria probably didn't hurt...  Nonetheless, I'm hereby giving the "Best of SalsaBoston" party award to Harvard, for both the Mega parties and La Alianza over at the Harvard Law School (one of those ought to be coming up too...)  Those guys never let us down!


In this issue:
- Celia and Gilberto!  April 7!
- Salsaboston T-shirts back from the printer next week!  Order now.
- SalsaBoston Wednesday nights at Sophia's, hot as ever
- a non-Salsa diversion: Oscar night with LeClub.ws
   Sunday March 24 at the "Back Lot"
- This week's mailbag!


***************************************
 Celia Cruz and Gilberto Santa Rosa
 Live at Symphony Hall, April 7
***************************************

Many people have told me they already got tickets to Celia Cruz and Gilberto Santa Rosa, Sunday, April 7, Live at Symphony Hall!  I think we can expect a full house (2400) on that one.  The promoter tells me he expects to sell out--reserve tickets now, through Ticketmaster.

Symphony Hall is going to make them sound awesome, but we all know that there's got to be some dancing, so look for info on the afterparty soon!

Here's all the concert details, links, sound clips, flyer, etc.
