Make the summer last… Indian summer is here in Toronto… !
Rueda de la Calle (+ tax) is still going strong, the corner of Spadina and Bloor, Free of charge. Monday evening at 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm. Bring a sweater if you want, but you’ll probably take it off once we start with some of the latest timba from Issac Delgado, Pupy, Charanga Habanera…. and the golden oldies, all great music from Cuba.
We’ll stop doing Reuda de la Calle for the season someday… but not yet… because the people keep coming … that’s all it takes … que suena la timba! Rueda de la Calle (+tax) is on Facebook.
Toronto Casino Rueda Practice continues indoors through the winter, every Saturday. Look for us on Facebook also. It’s a private group, so request to join and you will be up to date. Free.
Join us Thursday Oct 20th from 9:00PM to 1:00AM at the beautiful CAYO COCO resto-lounge for a night of great music and dancing.
Inspired by the classic dance bars, cafés and lounges in Centro Havana, we invite you come sip mojitos, socialize and dance the night away to smooth Cuban salsa, timba, and son spun by Toronto’s premier latin DJ BERNAL.
Cover is $5 and domestic beer and Havana Club drink specials will be in effect all night!! Kitchen open until midnight with great tapas and remember, those who arrive <9PM will enjoy no cover and an extended version of Cayo Coco’s famous $4.50 Happy Hour Martini’s (4:30pm-9PM)!
“Kings of Salsa”… at the Sony Center… it’s a long way from the streets of Los Sitios to the Sony Centre stage. But as these shows go, this is a good one: this one brings us the spirit of Cuba intact.
It’s adjusted to suit our show business expectations in Canada, but the sabor is unadulterated: the dancers are the real deal, the musicians play the real tumbao of Cuba.
See them twice: If you’re not doing much the Wednesday before, here’s a novel idea: Go to the show in Buffalo and add in some USA shopping, casino (gambling – not dancing!), nice hotel… and see the show in Buffalo as a warmup to the local show… the links contains a $70 off offer…
Son Aché is the current definition of “dance party” in Toronto.
One of Toronto’s most popular Cuban music groups, Son Aché performs their patented blend of high-energy son montuno that has been packing dance-floors for many years.
Just $15 for dancing only or $54 for the dinner, dance lesson and show package. Our dinner package guarantees seating for the night and includes any appetizer, any main course and any dessert, the 9pm beginner salsa lesson and three sets by the live salsa band.
This collaboration of some of the top Cuban/Latin musicians in Toronto began in 1999 with mutual goal to compose, interpret and perform classic son montuno, the root of contemporary salsa. Their appeal derives from a successful melding of diverse talent, infectious energy, years of combined musical education, knowledge and experience, and the obvious affection for the music they play: a driving and aggressive tumbao which gives the group it’s contemporary urban edge and ?abor (flavour). Son Ache maintains the integrity, tradition and passion, while broadening the allure of old cuban son, and engaging a wider audience of dancers and music lovers of all backgrounds… see “www.myspace.com/elsonache”
