Salsa at WGBH this Friday, TOP Event & FREE
SPECIAL INVITATION: FREE ADMISSION to WGBH's opening party this Friday for their new Latin Heritage TV series. They are hosting a party at the WGBH, and they tell me it will be "done up right". Live music, lighting, and all sorts of amenities. We have been asked to invite up to 20 couples to come dance and keep the party going! It's $25 normally, but through us you can attend for free! You have to be there at 7:45, and help keep the dancing going. RSVP to olaf@salsaboston.com with names. First come first serve. See the mailbag for the full event announcement.
This Sat: Providence Salsa Ball!
Details »
Scroll down for all the details, but this is no doubt going to be a "top" party put together by Manny and his crew down in Providence's classic Biltmore Hotel.
Sad News: Sagra Wed. Closing for the Moment. But... Caribe Expands!
Due the City of Somerville having caused delays with Sagra renovations, we're choosing to close for the time being until it's done. There is also a glut of competitors trying to host Wed. night Salsa events, which have split the crowd and the fun. So we're taking some time off, after nearly ten straight years of Wed. night Salsa. We have some exciting things in the works so stay tuned. Meanwhile, Caribe is HOPPING on Thursdays, and the good news there is we're getting some more dance floor within a week or two! Stay tuned.

Celia the Queen by Joe Cardona
Celia the Queen is a loving look at the amazing life and legacy of a woman whose voice symbolized the soul of a nation and captured the hearts of fans worldwide. Erupting onto the Cuban music scene as the lead singer for La Sonora Matancera, Celia Cruz broke down barriers of racism and sexism. With the powerful weapon of her voice and the warm tolerance of her heart, Celia soon became all things to all people. The film shows the diversity of the people whose lives she touched, from stars like Quincy Jones, Andy Garcia, and Wyclef Jean to ordinary people all over the world who loved not only her music but her incredible spirit. A co-presentation with National Black Programming Consortium.

Tito Puente: The King of Latin Music by George Rivera
Of all the musicians who have contributed to the popularity of Latin music, none is more recognized than the man known simply as “The King,” Tito Puente. His family, friends and colleagues all pay homage here: Bill Cosby, Marc Anthony, Armand Assante, Geraldo Rivera, Jimmy Smits, Paquito D’Rivera and many more. The life of this influential bandleader, percussionist and composer – and one of the most charismatic performers of all time – is recalled through archival footage and interviews as well as excerpts from one of his last concerts.
