Dance like nobody’s watching with El Presidente de la Salsa! Enjoy a night of live salsa music featuring Roosevelt Cordova, also known as El Presidente de la Salsa. A Peruvian singer recognized for reviving classic old-school vocal techniques with a creative freestyle style, Cordova has gained strong recognition in the Southern California salsa scene and is widely regarded as one of the top soneros in Los Angeles.
His repertoire includes classic salsa hits such as Así Son Las Mujeres (El Gran Combo), Lluvia (Willie Rosario), Lloré (Héctor Lavoe), and Llegó la Hora (Jimmy Bosch), performed with his own distinctive interpretation.
Latin Gold Records will be onsite offering a selection of music ranging from Latin classics to soul, cosmic jazz, funk, punk, classic rock, and world music.
Doors open at 6 pm with a free salsa dance lesson led by Dancing 101 with Roberto. The music and dancing continue until 11 pm. Bring your chairs, blankets, and best dance moves for a night of music and celebration. Food and beverages will be available for purchase.
