All summer long, ¡VAYA! honors NYC’s rich traditions of Latin dance and music with movement instruction and concerts tailored for dancers of all skill levels. Following basic dance instruction from performer Talia Castro-Pozo and a warm-up set of salsa hits from DJ Woody, you are invited to take the Oasis Dance Floor for an evening with the three-time Grammy Award-winning aces of the Spanish Harlem Orchestra. This concert celebrates the twenty year anniversary of the release of the ensemble’s debut album, Un Gran Dia En El Barrio. Bandleader Oscar Hernández nimbly charts the thirteen-man combo’s direction forward with sharp orchestration that remains true to the music’s still-resonant roots while showcasing salsa dura’s timeless appeal.
