GRUPO NICHE OFFER A
 CONCERT TO REMEMBER
 ON AUGUST 22ND IN
 ENGLEWOOD
 TAKE PLEASURE IN AN EVENING WITH THE
 MOST POPULAR SALSA BAND IN THE
 CONTINENT IN NEW JERSEY

 Start a Saturday evening with fun in the company of one of
 the most successful Salsa bands of recent times, Grupo
 Niche. They will be singing the songs that their fans most
 want to hear and you will love seeing this orchestra of 14
 musicians on stage performing their heart out at the Bergen
 PAC. Please, follow them in their official Fan page on
 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pg/elgruponiche/

 Grupo Niche is a salsa band founded in 1980 in Cali, Colombia
 and considered one of the most important groupings of Latin
 salsa. The band is known for its music’s fast and vigorous
 dances, as well as romantic themes of a much slower pace.
 Among their best-known hits are “Cali Ají,” “Del Puente
 p'allá,” “Sin sentimiento,” “Una Aventura,” “Etnia,” “Gotas de
 Lluvia” and “Han Cogido la Cosa.” The group still enjoys some
 of its past successes, and tours, making worldwide
 presentations, and singing their most memorable songs.

                                           dancing, new people and great fun?

                                           welcome, for the first time in Bulgaria, the cuban
                                           dancer, teacher and choreographer Osmani Segura, who
                                           will give Salsa, Afro-cuban Body Isolation lessons for
                                           everybody.
                                           Here is some information about him:
                                           Osmani was born in ‘Habana Vieja’, a very special barrio
                                           of Havana, Cuba. He began his dancing journey at age
                                           16 in Cuba.
                                           Since then, the street was his main school and the
                                           stage became his second home. He was a member of
                                           several dance companies in Cuba, allowing him to
                                           improve his knowledge of dances like, Rumba, Afro-
                                           Cuban Body Isolation, Mambo, Cha Cha Chá and other
                                           traditional cuban dances, as well as Casino de Calle
                                           (also known as Salsa Cuban Style) and international
                                           dances like Samba and Hip-Hop.

His career as a teacher started back in Cuba in
2002. In 2006 he became a member of the
german hip-hop crew ‘Just blaze’ led by Camillo
Lauricella and with them became a German
Hip-Hop Champion. Since 2010 he provides his
knowledge to his students, all the way from
beginners to stage performer level. Together
with his dance groups “Los Freakos” or the
“Latin Instinct Dance Company” Osmani has
already taught and performed on stage at
several Salsa congresses in Germany and
Europe and since 2013 he also performs as
soloist!

                                               Tickets: 25€ - 90€
                                               Toros y Salsa was born in 1995
                                               from the shared passion of
                                               two amateurs for the fiesta
                                               “brava". This adjective, which
                                               is part of the vocabulary of
                                               bullfighting, refers to the
                                               bravery and caste of the bull. It
                                               is also used by salseros to
                                               characterize authentic and
                                               uncompromising music. From
                                               this analogy, was born the idea
                                               to create a marriage of heart
                                               between these two cultures.
                                               The festival owes its unique
                                               identity to its original

Verano León, quien nació en 1974 (44 años)
en Bogotá, Colombia. Nos menciona que a
partir de sus 5 años es salsera gracias a su
padre que es músico, quien trabajo con
prestigiosas Orquestas Colombianas que
marcaron su gusto musical, entre los temas
que más le agradaron están “El Gran
Combo”, “Richie Ray” y “Andy Montañez”.

A partir de sus 15 años comenzó sus estudios
de solfeo en “La Sinfónica Juvenil de Bogotá”,

presentaron en su vida estas no la
detuvieron a seguir adelante, dándole más
fuerzas en su negocio musical.

                    El objetivo principal de su empresa es representar y promocionar
                    nuevos artistas a nivel internacional. Nos menciona que cuenta con
                    un canal de vídeos conocido como “SALSA CÁMARA” y con una
                    revista musical llamada “TÚ VOZ LATINA COLOMBIA” la cual está
                    por salir al mercado; ambos se utilizan para promocionar a los
                    cantantes y agrupaciones latinos.
                    Lo más importante para ella en la vida son: su hijo, los artistas y su
                    país, al cual quiere hacer llegar muy alto a nivel mundial, mostrando
                    como ejemplo a la gente luchadora y trabajadora en esta área,
                    donde todo es posible con perseverancia y mente positiva.

Y es que la música, a menudo, entra también por
                                           los ojos, que lo diga Oscar Dudamel, que supo que

                                           dirigir, por el contrario fue apreciando la música
                                           que salía del trombón de su adorado padre. En

                                           homenaje a Hector Lavoe, por conmemorarse
                                           años de su muerte. “Héctor Lavoe murió el lunes
