Greetings!

Latin Music USATonight is the screening of Part 1 & 2 of a fantastic Latin music documentary - Latin Music USA at LDStudios!

From Machito & His Afro Cubans in the 40's & 50's >> to todays Shakira, Marc Anthony, Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez and more!

This documentary is a MUST for all Latin music enthusiasts! Specially for salsa dancers! A "complete" salsa dancer knows its history, who is who in the salsa music industry, what the different salsa styles are, where it was created and most importantly... where it came from!

previewIn our opinion, this is one of the most comprehensive the most entertaining documentary we have seen about Latin music... this is the evolution and revolution of Latin music! Learn how it infiltrated US culture and became a global phenomenon!

SEE THE PREVIEWS >> HERE
(note there are 2 previews - see them both!)

PART 1+2: Thu 10 Feb @ 8:30pm - "Latin music infiltrates the USA + The Salsa Revolution" (running time ~ 110min)

PART 3+4: Thursday 17 February @ 8:30pm
"The Chicano Wave + Todays Latin Divas & Superstars" (running time ~ 110min)

Is a Salsa Congress a competition? No, to keep it short - its like a convention or exhibition where salsa dance enthusiasts, instructors and schools (from many parts of the world) gather for a full weekend of learning, sharing and displaying what they do and how the do everything that falls under the category of Salsa or "street Latin".
