| 05-05-2007 6:06 am - Bank Holiday Weekend Salsa!!!
- UK.
- Scala Latina. Sunday 6th May 2007.
Scala Latina is back again for its bank holiday event on Sunday 6th May 2007.
Scala Latina has a monthly club now, but in my opinion it has lost that certain atmosphere and feel of the Bank holidays as there are a lot less people who come then and who leave a lot earlier than the closing time.
The bank holiday events are always treated as a special event with Salseros from the North of England and even the continent attending. And they stay until the end, 6:00 am.
I much prefer the bank holiday events.
For more on the up and coming Scala Latina events please see Scala Latina Sunday 6th May 2007.

12-05-2007 3:23 am - Up and Coming Salsa Events Worldwide and Salsa This Weekend!!!
Up and Coming Salsa Events.
- UK - London.
Aha. Summer is here and there's nothing like an outdoor Latin Festival to bring the city to life.
Every summer in London there are a string of Latin and other cultural festivals highlighting the culture of the residents of this multi-ethnic society, highlighting their traditions, delicacies and most of all the music.
The largest of these festivals are the Carnaval del Pueblo and the Carnival de Cuba. As these festivals approach I will give you an insight into each and everyone of them.
But first I will start with the Carnaval de Cuba.
Carnival de Cuba - Larger than ever and a new venue.
The attendance of Carnival de Cuba 2006 was 86,000 strong. Due to this rapid increase in numbers for 2007 the
Carnival de Cuba is moving down the river to a larger site - Southwark Park on 16th to 17th June. This new venue offers much more space, far better facilities and excellent transport links (Southwark Park is only three stops on the Jubilee line from Waterloo and one stop from Canary Wharf). Entry is free!
Impressive musical line up.
The line up includes:
- Chart topping Sur Caribe joined by the iconic Pedrito Calvo, formerly of Los Van Van.
- The great Conga band, Septeto Tipico Tivoli from Santiago-de-Cuba, the island's second city and the soul of music, dance and carnival.
- Direct from Cuba, 'Reggaeson' sensation Sangre Latina.
- UK-based Cuban reggaeton stars Papa Record.
- Kid Afrika.
- Leximan.
For 2007 there will also be many more cantinas and food stands, along with juicy tropical cocktail and smoothie bars. So much more exotic delicacies to sample.
As usual there will be the massive Conga procession led by Guillermo Davis and the Cuban bands along with local school kids, free children's carnival face-painting, dance workshops, longer hours and better facilities than before.
I will keep you up to date with this festival in the coming weeks.
- USA - LA.
West Coast Salsa Congress 2007.
This the biggest Salsa Congress in the world (or at least it was up to last year when it was in Salsa Land is on 24th - 7th May 2007. It is moving into a hotel this year limiting the attendance to only 2,500 Attendees. This event should therefore sell out very early!
There are over 50 workshops and only one performance show per night leaving more time for social dancing!
Everything is in one Location and there will be no more shuttle buses.
More about the West Coast Salsa Congress later.

MamboCity.
MamboCity have decided to host a once a month Salsa night at Ealing Town Hall in a larger room, The Grand Victoria Hall, due to popular request.
This room has been used for holiday one dayer events and has proved very popular with the Ealing Town Hall regulars.
Therefore there will be a trial with a new format over the coming weeks.
MamboCity will therefore move upstairs (once a month), for the Ealing "Big Night Out" in The Grand Victoria Hall. The first of these "Big Night Out" events, will start on Friday 25th May, a Bank Holiday Special.
Please see Ealing Big Night Out for full details.
