Salsa Performance I’m watching —
Mambo Bellas @ Latin Factory 2nd Anniversary Party
Not your traditional Flamenco performance but still heavily inspired from the emotional style of dance. An art form, native to the Spanish regions of Andalusia, Extremadura and Murcia, which includes the singing, guitar-playing, dancing, hand-clapping and finger-snapping.
Performed by 오정은 Jane (Youtube) and her Mambo Bellas. A well-known dance instructor who has taught many of the talented Salsa dancers found in South Korea. Former director of many dance teams including:
La Fuerta, Jane’s Salsera, and Mambo Corriente. Some say she’s the longest running dance instructor of Salsa teams in Seoul— performing all around the world. She will be making her first performance debut with Korean ladies performance team, Coreana Mambo at COLADA — Colors of Latin Dance - Latin Dance Congress Bangkok 2017.
Salsa Social I’m watching —
Umberto & Ella Social Dance @ Salsa O’Sulli Paris
Umberto Nocita is a Salsa dancer, accomplished dance instructor and Italian musician coming from Milan, Italy. A member of the Salsa band, La Maxima 79 (Spotify) — a conguero. His musicality and interpretation for the Salsa rhythms is unreal, as we can see between him and his dance partner, Elle Jauk.
The Salsa song playing is Mi Bomba Sono — Alfredito Linares (Spotify)
Salsa Song I’m listening to —
Fabry’s Swing — La Maxima 79
La Maxima 79 brings back the golden era of Salsa — the 70's. The fusion of vibrant and energizing sounds makes Fabry’s Swing — La Maxima 79 so addicting.
