Valentines for salsa with ‘Love in the Groove’! We celebrated our love for salsa, dancing and each other on our first event for 2020, and what fire! True love filled the decks by the maestros El Gringo straight from Marseilles and Julian the Duke! Beautiful dancers and smiles filled the floor and we thank you for making our opening night such a success at our new Saturday home, the beautiful Lambeth Town Hall. Join us for more groove in 2020!
DJ El Gringo, France
Dj El Gringo has been collecting music for over 20 years and 15 of these have been exclusively dedicated to vinyl records. His favourite salsa era is of the golden 60-70s of guaguanco, mambo, guajira, chacha from all over the world but with special interest in Africa, Guadaloupe and Antilla.
His personal favourite style of music is that of salsa with instruments like bongo, timbales, piano and more. He plays for several events in France which concentrate on 100% salsa dura but he also likes to play all styles of salsa for the dancers and to provide a good ambience for all attending.
Dj Julian the Duke
He is one of the UK’s most experienced and popular salsa DJs who never fails to fill the dancefloor. A forefather of Salsa in the UK, originally from Colombia, he has an extensive knowledge of many styles of salsa music and is famed for his ability to adapt his set to the crowd.
With over 25 years experience under his belt, in 2003 he was recognised as the Best International DJ, establishing him as one of the most sought-after djs in Congresses and events around the world
Julian believes Salsa is a way to bring happiness and to unite people from all backgrounds through music.
Que viva la SALSA!
