Hard to believe 2021 is almost over but there is still time this year for some great dancing and helping out towards a great cause. Tommy Rosas and Latin Flavor Productions will be hosting the 14th Annual Birthday Toy Drive on December 5th, 2021. The event is to help local kids with donations of toys and clothing during the Christmas Holiday season.
Latin music including salsa music will be played by DJ’s along with appetizers provided by the venue, Kusina. The event is free but you will want to make sure you bring an unwrapped toy and/or new clothes for girls aged 12 to 14 years. The event will run from 2pm to 6pm.
To RSVP for the event text Tommy at 619-889-7348.
Thanks and see you all at the 14th Annual Birthday Toy Drive!

San Diego’s Dia de San Juan Salsa and Bachata Festival is coming up soon and with it a great opportunity to experience Puerto Rican culture here locally. The Dia de San Juan has its roots in the Catholic feast day of St. John, commemorating the birth of St. John the Baptist 6 months before Jesus’ birth (which is why it falls on June 24th.)
This year we are fortunate to have none other than Tito Puente Jr. performing live at the event. A Tribute to El Rey Tito Puente Featuring his son and Honoring the great Timbalero from the Tito Rodriguez Orchestra, Mr. Pat Rodriguez will be some of the highlights this year.
Presented by Tommy Rosas’ Latin Flavor Productions, the event will be hosted by Chris Springer of Jazz 88.3 fame. There will be a salsa and bachata emphasis with 2 stages of great music for all those interested in celebrating the holiday.
The 4th Annual San Diego Salsa Bachata Festival is now in the history books and if you are like me your legs are still recovering from all the dancing (and you are catching up on lost sleep!). I want to take the opportunity to thank Angel and Tulane, Albert Torres, and the whole San Diego Salsa/Latin dance community for honoring not just Ritmo Bello but also Dan Delino and Tommy Rosas.
I received some emails and twitter messages asking me what the award I received looked like so I posted it here for you to check out.
Congratulations to all the dance show participants, especially the local dance studios, who went above and beyond to show San Diego’s true dance talent.
