This is a great video showing a stellar performance by Positive Energy at the recent Grupo Niche concert here in San Diego.  You’ll notice the first part is tango inspired and the latter portion switches to salsa dancing.  A great performance overall…

I have some great news to share with all of you in San Diego!  Blue Agave Nightclub, the group that recently brought us the Gilberto Santa Rosa & Victor Manuelle concert, is bringing to us here in San Diego another great concert.  This time we are lucky to have two well known salsa groups together in concert for one night only here in San Diego, Grupo Niche and Oscar D’Leon!

Direct from Colombia is Grupo Niche, a well known and established salsa band that for years has entertained the world with its unique style of Colombian salsa music.  Grupo Niche is world renowned for it high tempo, energetic dance music along with a number of slower paced romantic songs.  Many of the songs created by the group over the years are now considered salsa classics and are regularly heard in the salsa clubs around the world.  As a Colombian American, I take great pride in the work and impact Grupo Niche has had on salsa music.  I included a video from one of their past concerts so you could get a sense of what their unique salsa sounds like.

Oscar D’Leon, the other headliner for the concert, comes direct from Venezuela and brings with him a different yet equally uptempo style of salsa music.  I’ve been to Oscar D’Leon’s concerts in the past and I can tell you that he is truly a master “sonero” and is known worldwide for his great singing voice.  Like Grupo Niche, many of Oscar D’Leon’s songs are now considered salsa classics and the concert will present a unique opportunity to listen to him live.  This second video shows a glimpse of what you can expect from this great salsa music artist.

The San Diego Salsa and Latin Dancing Meetup Group will be in attendance at this concert and we’ve already set up an RSVP where you can find out all the information you need about this event (click here to be taken there.)

We’ll see you at the Grupo Niche & Oscar D’Leon concert here in San Diego!

I’ve got some great news for salsa music fans here in San Diego.  Our friends at Blue Agave Nightclub are presenting Gilberto Santa Rosa & Victor Manuelle live in concert.

Coming direct from Puerto Rico, the two well known salsa musicians are reuniting once again as they did back in 2001 for their music tour “Dos Soneros, Una Historia.”  This time around the concert is being called “La Historia Continua” or “History Continues” and they are sure to deliver more of the same great music that they are famous for creating.

The San Diego Salsa and Latin Dancing Meetup Group is going and we’ve set up a special page to RSVP and find out more information about the event, including where to purchase tickets. 

For those of you not familiar with the duo, check out the video clip from their last tour back in 2001 at the beginning of this post.

See you at the concert!

Grupo Niche , for those unfamiliar with the group, is a Colombian salsa band that has been around since the 1970’s.  Based out of Cali, Colombia the group has produced some of the most memorable salsa songs of all time including "Una Aventura" and "Cali Pachanguero".  The latter song is highlighted in the video that accompanies this post.

The San Diego Salsa and Latin Dancing Meetup Group will in attendance for this great concert and we’ve set up a RSVP page for those interested .
