SOULSA - Welcome to El Barrio
Having held a weekly residency at Bar Rumba, the Soulsa boys have setup shop at Barrio North with a twice-monthly DJ set straight out of Spanish Harlem. "By the swinging sixties, Manhattan's Spanish Harlem had become a cultural melting pot; a kaleidoscopic neighbourhood where Latinos and Blacks cohabited side by side. This created an ideal setting to spur a cross-pollination of musical ideas...a perfect place for R'N'B to meet Rumba...for Salsa to meet Soul...for Jazz to meet Latin... WELCOME TO THE WONDERFUL SOUND OF EL BARRIO!" 6pm - midnight (free entry) Soulsa @ Barrio North Disclaimer: Please note that this is not a Salsa dance event and we do not offer classes. Come on down and just kick back, relax and enjoy some vintage Latin party jams with a hint of Soul, Funk & Disco! |
