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.

Salsa y Control Dance Company
Celebrating Our 5th Anniversay
******3 part series******

Friday, February 29, 2008 (leap year)
Havana Club hosted by Salsa y Control.
288 Green St. Central Sq. Cambridge, near the red line.

Special Party Celebrating the “Golden Age of Salsa: The 70’s”.
Come on boogie with us and have a psychedelic time!!!

Salsa is not only the captivating music we hear and dance to today. It is a 
social and cultural movement that exploded in the early 70’s, primarily in New 
York City. It was a search for identity for Latin New Yorkers and during that 
process became a way of life. Through a series of efforts to promote Latin 
music at that time, Salsa seemed to be the concept that best captured the 
meaning, feeling, and soul of Afro-Cuban/Latin music. Fania records put 
together some of the best singers and musicians of that era creating what is 
known as the Fania All-Stars. With numerous sold out concerts, Fania All-Stars 
where very influential in having the term Salsa catch on not only in New York 
and the U.S, but throughout the world.

The party will feature:

-From the movie “El Cantante” with Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony ***EDWIN 
RIVERA performing his tribute to Roberto Roena from Fania
All-Stars***
    watch clip: http://youtube.com/watch?v=kYBZ8h0Ys8E

Control Performance -Grooviest 70s costume contest. Come dressed in your 
favorite 70s outfit and enter for a chance to win $150 cash prize, dance 
lessons and instructional DVDs.
-Guest DJ D. Martinez, DJ Rob Suave, DJ Sonerito and DJ Travieso playing the 
best Salsa tunes from the 70s -Learn about your favorite Salsa artist of the 
70s through vintage footage playing on a big screen, photos, concert posters 
of that era and Salsa personalities impersonators. Meet and greet some of your 
favorite artists such as Hector Lavoe, Celia Cruz, Tito Puente, la Lupe, 
Ismael Rivera and many more.
-Usual Rueda lesson at 8:30pm and Salsa lesson at 9:30pm

ALL OF THIS FOR ONLY $15
