Dancing on the Pier. This is the remaining salsa night for the season. It’s at Harbourfront Centre, 7 p to 9 pm.
Apparently they’ve had some decent live dance music, including musicians of Son Ache band… such as Ricky Franco, Alexis Baro, Roberto Linares Brown variously… though didn’t see any need to advertise that… it may be worth catching it if you’re able!

As we get ready for the upcoming Charanga Habanera show in Toronto… news of a new CD being planned, thanks to TimbaPorSiempre.
“The work continues for ‘ David Calzado y su Charanga Habanera’, returning now from their recent tour in Europe. They are already working on a new “lite” CD… currently planned as 5 or 6 songs … but of a different soft from what we have heard in recent years. For sure, one song will be a bachata, but little else is known… except for sure, the new project will be a success!

In years past at the Beaches Jazz festival, Cuban music has been represented… in both it’s dynamic current forms and the ossified shapshots of old style Cuban music… the latter preferred by most Latins… who became detached from the Cuban scene somewhere around the revolution.
All this stuff WAS mixed together at the stage called “Latin Square” in previous years…
BUT… a new stage has been added in 2012, “World Beat Stage”. This stage is within a stone’s throw from the Boardwalk Cafe restaurant, just north of the volleyball area at the beach.
THAT’S where you go to hear modern Cuban dance music … the WORLD BEAT STAGE… you won’t find them at the Latin Square stage 
Notable at World Beat Stage:

Now you can also easily listen online for free. Of course, it works only if you are connected to the web, the site is not busy, and if you don’t want to have it on your player or phone even when disconnected. But… it is free… this news from PlanetTima.com.
