Taking Salsa Back to the Street

La Excelencia - This vibrant 12-piece orchestra from New York City reclaims the salsa dura (hard salsa) of the 1970s with unstoppable dance music that merges hectic percussion, screaming horns and impassioned singers — who also revive salsa dura’s political consciousness, singing about the hard life of the barrio and Latin unity. Wherever these revolutionary, new-generation salsa ambassadors perform, their contagious rhythms bring audiences to their feet. Bailamos! Presented in partnership with LUPO’s.
