summer-bachata-fest

San Francisco Bachata International  Festival
July 12 to 19, 2010

features

AVANCE
July 16, 2010 - Friday
Friday at the Parc 55 Hotel

AVANCE originates and consists of the hottest and newest talents the San Francisco Bay Area has come to know. Four electrifying bilingual singers, a sizzling horn section and one of the best rhythm sections on the West Coast. You put this all together and you get a new and unique sound that crosses the language barrier: Spanish and English. Leading the group is Carlos Santana percussionist/musical director, Karl Perazzo and Co-Founder/Vocalist Armando Cordoba. From Central America, Luis Morales, Jeff Cordoba, Jimmy Flores and Armando Cordoba, bring to the table each, his own style of vocals; enriching each song with it’s own personality. Rich vocals and an exhilarating dance show, these singers leave all audiences wanting more! AVANCEs’ musical productions combine and fuse all the different styles of salsa: Puerto Rican, Cuban, New York, and Colombian. Add to the mix R&B/pop, then you’ve got yourself a group with diversity and innovation, yet always familiar to the ear, and more importantly to the soul. AVANCEs’ ultimate goal is to spread their music and inspire all over the world. When you see and hear AVANCE you're guaranteed three things: Sizzle, Style and most of all SWING!!!

New York Salsa Dance Event: Havana Night with Danny Rojo y Su Pornoson - April 10, 2010

Havana Night
featuring
Danny Rojo y Su Pornoson

April 10, 2010

music by:DJ MICHA
Doors: 12am/Show: 1am

Admission:$10 Reduced List, $15 General Admission

SOBs is bringing Danny Rojo Y Su Pornoson to New York`s “forbidden fruit”- Havana Night on the 13th March. The Afrocuban funk-rock band Pornoson was founded in NYC, in 2005 by Cuban composer Danny Rojo. They began spreading their unique blend of AfroCuban rhythms, blazing guitar, electric strings, thumping bass and controversial lyrics all around New York hotspots.

Today, Pornoson is no longer only a typical Latin band playing traditional Cuban salsa music, but since band- leader Danny Rojo has “sexed-up” the versions of these long-established tunes they are unstoppable! The sexual lyrics of PORNOSON have inspired as many haters as lovers, but even the haters agree that the music is fierce and unstoppable, and impossible NOT to groove to.

Make sure not to miss this life celebrating night!
