Son Aché at Lula – Nov 11

10:00 pm

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.

Click for Son Ache sample music.

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

Day of the Dead – with Dirty Maria & Babalao Stereo Club – Nov 2 at Brunswick House

October 26th, 2011

NOTE: This press release comes to us in Spanish — fair enough because it will be pretty scary if you don’t know any Spanish ;-) .  Non-Cuban, but close…

ATRÉVETE a vivir el Día de Muertos con DIRTY MARÍA y BABALAO STEREO CLUB!

TORONTO, On. Canadá, 22 de octubre, 2011 /PressRelease/ — ¡Ay, Nanita! El día en que los muertos vienen a “conmorir” con nosotros está cerca. Dirty María vuelve a la carga y junto con Babalao Stereo Club te invita a disfrutar de un Día de Muertos de mieeeeedo.

Según la creencia de la civilización mexicana antigua, cuando el individuo muere su espíritu continúa viviendo en Mictlán, y cada 2 de noviembre, “los que se nos han adelantado” vienen a “conmorir” con los que estamos vivitos y coleando.

The Brunswick House, en el 481 de Bloor Street West (entre Spadina y Bathurst), se convertirá en un cementerio donde desde las 9:00pm las calaveras tilicas y flacas se pondrán a bailar al ritmo de las mejores bandas de rock y funk de la comarca Dirty María y Babalao Stereo Club, junto con el DJ San Benito, el miércoles 2 de noviembre. A este jolgorio mortuorio están invitados todos. Costo de admisión: $10. Tequilas: $3.50

¿Qué esperar de esta celebración? Saúl Torres, vocalista de Dirty María, explicó que “ésta será más que una tocada; es una celebración del Día de Muertos. Vamos a cantar, bailar, echar desmadre y sobre todo mostrar y presumir la cultura mexicana y la buena vibra latinoamericana”.

“No sé, tal vez, a lo mejor, quién sabe. Me doy”: Capulina

Además de la tocada, Velia Romo pondrá una ofrenda en honor al comediante mexicano Capulina y los muertos de la obra Johnny Tenorio de la compañía teatral Double Double “conmorirán” con nosotros.

No te puedes perder este guateque con música en vivo, pues como decía Posadas: “Güera, morena, rica o pobre, toda la gente acabará siendo calavera”. Ahí nos vemos.
