Join us tonight at An Tua Nua as usual!  Scroll down for details.

 

Halloween falls on Wednesday this year and we're planning a big party at An Tua Nua of course, costume contest, cash prizes.  HOWEVER... it's also the scheduled night of game 6 of the World Series, so we've been told by management that we may not be open that night, depending on whether the Sox make it.  So stay tuned.  We may move the party if needed for that one night.

This Saturday is a benefit party for Fernando's Hideaway Show at Tabu ultra-lounge in Saugus.  Come out and support this show, which supports so many of Boston's Salsa events.  See mailbag for details.

An Tua Nua is a great contemporary Irish bar & grill on Beacon Street just outside of Kenmore Square (only about 3 blocks from Sophia's).  In the back they have a dance club about the same size as the upstairs at Sophia's, with a sizable dance floor that holds about 150 people, a bar, and plenty of lounge seating.

 

Close to the green line (St. Mary's on the C train, Fenway on the D, Kenmore on the B), plenty of street and lot parking.

 

Irish/America/Bar food available until 10pm.  I have eaten there regularly, it is very tasty and modestly priced.

 

Note: they have Karaoke with my man Kev-Mac Daddy in the front portion of the bar when you walk in, but don't let that scare you... Salsa is in the back room!  Full Bar.  Please check your coat.

NOCHE CUBANA / CUBAN NIGHT

                                                

A concert dedicated to Cuba’s music and dance traditions from the ancestral

to the contemporary featuring an all-star cast of Boston and NY musicians

and dancers!

announce the Boston premiere presentation of NOCHE CUBANA/CUBAN NIGHT, as

This collaborative performance brings together the talents of some of the

best Cuban music and dance practitioners from New York and New England to

take us on a journey through some of the numerous styles of Cuban music and

dance, from the ancestral religious music and dance from the Lucumí, Abakuá

and Palo traditions, to the secular Rumba Guaguancó and Columbia, to the

rural sounds of Son and Changüí, the sultry sounds of the

classically–influenced Danzón and Cha-Cha-Cha, to the Rock and

Funk-influenced Songo and Timba and more.  Hosted by Alberto Vasallo Jr. and

under the artistic direction of master dancer, drummer, singer and

choreographer Reynaldo González former member of one of Cuba’s most

respected traditional music and dance institutions Grupo Afrocuba de

Matanzas, Noche Cubana will offer a unique opportunity to witness and enjoy

some of the most representative music and dance expressions from Cuba, which

have left an imprint on the development of the contemporary music of Latin

America and the US. 

 

The participating artists will also offer a matinee performance for children

of the South End schools on Friday October 26th, as part of IBA’s efforts to

bring quality Latino arts to our youth.
