******************************************************************* 2) From
Masacote:
We will be performing our newest company choreography entitled
"5 Beat Mambo" on Wednesday, February 21st at An Tua Nua. The choreography
has been in the works for 5 months and will be performed at the end of the month
in Atlanta. We're excited to debut it first for our Boston Salsa
family. The piece is performed to one of Joel's songs from his album
"MASACOTE".
Information on the choreography:
Name of
Choreography: 5 Beat Mambo Choreographed by: Ana and Joel
Massicot Song: "5 Beat Mambo" Artist: Joel "Masacote" Massicot Masacote
Dance Company Members
Performing: -- Ana
Tinajero-Massicot -- Joel
Massicot -- Samantha
Fernandez -- Jason
Lawrence -- Sheila
Chen -- Esteban
Ortiz Description: In 2003, Ana and Joel broke new barriers in salsa
dancing when they choreographed to "Take Five", a jazz piece written by Dave
Brubeck in 5/4 timing. In 2006, Masacote broke new ground, becoming the
first and only group to perform and choreograph to music created by them and for
them with Joel's new Latin Jazz album "MASACOTE".
In this album, Joel
wrote a Mambo in 5/4 timing after being inspired musically by "Take Five".
Today, Masacote will perform to "5 Beat Mambo", a new age of salsa/mambo and an
invitation to others to venture into unchartered territory.

Performance
Boston, MA – La Casa de la Cultura/Center for Latino Arts
announces EL BEMBÉ, Boston’s celebrated Latin music and dance party. EL BEMBÉ
has become a fixture in the Salsa movement in Boston since 1999. Starting this
Spring, EL BEMBÉ will change it’s format to offer a more diverse and
multi-cultural experience. Instead of focusing exclusively on Salsa and
Merengue music and dance, this production will be dedicated to providing a wider
cultural scope to the music and dance of Latin America while allowing for an
increase in cross-cultural experiences for dancers, artists and music
lovers. EL BEMBÉ COLOMBIANO will offer a unique opportunity for
dancers to learn new dance steps and enjoy new musical styles including Cumbia,
Vallenato, and more. The DJ Carlos Guillén-“Disco Moreno” will spin
Colombian dance music as well as Salsa and Merengue favorites so the evening
will have a great variety in music. EL BEMBÉ COLOMBIANO will also feature
a live band performing a variety of Colombian musical styles to add to this
unique cultural experience.
EL BEMBÉ caters to a diverse audience
ranging from Latin music and dance enthusiasts to professional and advanced
dancers to Latin dance beginners. EL BEMBÉ’s friendly atmosphere is both
inviting and engaging, characterized by a contagiously festive spirit. Perhaps
the most unique characteristic of EL BEMBÉ is that all proceeds from the event
are re-invested in the CLA’s arts programs therefore, patrons not only enjoy a
unique celebration but they also contribute to the cultural life of the city of
Boston.
Upcoming EL BEMBÉ productions:
EL BEMBÉ BRASILEÑO /
BRAZILIAN EL BEMBÉ FRIDAY APRIL 27
EL BEMBÉ COLOMBO-BRASILEÑO /
COLOMBIAN-BRAZILIAN EL BEMBÉ FRIDAY JUNE 1
