It was great to hear that Tucson was hosting their 1st Annual Salsa Festival on November 14th.
But, then I was disappointed to hear that they hired a band from out of town to play in the festival.
If this is a Tucson event, then why are you hiring a band from out of town? Isn't this a perfect
opportunity to showcase the local talent of the salsa musicians?. Perhaps somebody can enlighten me.

"Like many American stories, the tale of Fania comes from the boroughs and inner city barrios of New York City. In the early 60’s young Latin musicians brought the music from their homelands into the Great Apple and thus began a great period of musical reinvention and free cooperation amongst the melting pot of cultures living in the city."
Fania Records now has a new website. Check it out: www.fania.com
"Many music fans enjoy a time-machine fantasy where they are transported back to a famous dance club of the past. For some, it's Studio 54 or the Fillmore, but for me, the first choice would be New York's Palladium Ballroom in the 1950s."
