AguaDulce

Son Montuno
I will try to add events as I hear about them. Also feel free to add. The only event you missed so far was the Loisaida Festival (http://loisaidainc.org/htm/index.php), which had the original Tipica 73 with Aldalberto Santiago (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPIgaD4xx-w). These events are free and what makes this time of year Un Verano en Nueva York :)

Thanks, AguaDulce!

Also, in Wagner Park (near Battery Park City lower Manhattan ):

July 28 --> Plena Libre
August 4 --> Conjunto Imagen
August 11 -> Nino Segarra y Orchesta

btw, it seems that most of the City Parks salsa concerts are in the outer boroughs (eg. Conjunto Clasico at St. Mary's park in the south bronx, Frankie Negron at Red Hook Park in Bklyn). It would be nice to get a more detailed listing of specific locations. There's a lot of great stuff going on -- and free!

Haven't been yet, but I been meaning to check this place out. I heard the food is pretty good too!
 
The free concert with Larry Harlow and Ruben Blades was fantastic and the best one at Lincoln Center this summer. La Excelencia also did a free concert there earlier in the summer, but it was average at best. Can't complain though either way because it is all FREE.

Our Latin Thing: Tribute to The Fania All Stars with DJ Lucho
When: Thursday, August 19, 2010 at 7:00PM
Where: East River Park
Cost: Free
Our Latin Thing: Tribute to The Fania All Stars with DJ Lucho
Our Latin Thing puts a contemporary edge to some of Latin music's biggest hit-makers, The Fania All Stars, for a modern take on Salsa music. DJ Lucho is the total entertainment package, from playing to making music, he has re-defined how to entertain the masses.

Our Latin Thing, an ensemble of lead singers and musicians from New York’s top Latin bands, pays tribute to the legendary group The Fania All-Stars. The Fania All-Stars were a group of artists from the 1970s that popularized Latin music’s sound to a wide audience via their large scale concerts. Included in the group were salsa greats such as Ray Barretto, Willie Colón, and Johnny Pacheco. Our Latin Thing will perform an assortment of all the Fania All Stars’ top hits, whose music was influenced by American jazz, soul, and rock and roll.

DJ Lucho’s early exposure to the harmonious rhythms of Latin music in his Harlem neighborhood nurtured an innate talent that propelled him to become one of the most gifted DJ’s and producers in the music industry. His interaction with different genres of music has allowed him to develop a unique and versatile style, which was guided by his deep appreciation for various cultures and their musical influences.

Part of the NYC Revolutions series.
