SALSA VIVALDI...The Bronx & Beverly Hills unite!
And who says opposites don’t attract? Mix hard core SALSA Dura (energetic 1970’s Nuyorican salsa)
with… of all things… CLASSICAL Music, on ONE stage, performing in a DUEL… The result is an EXPLOSIVE and
CLIMAXIC experience to the ear.
The genius of Jimmy Bosch along with his band is continuing with their spectacular
series of performances, together with symphony orchestras. Salsa fans are tranquilized, while most classical music fans are
left with reactions of ultimate heaven. The few ultra conservative classical music fans left in shock and disgust wouldn’t
even dare mix a Puerto Rican or Dominican mofongo with their imported caviar! WEPA!
Oh, who wins the duel? YOU decide!...
If you want to experience salsa like never before, don’t miss the upcoming live SALSA VIVALDI events (Events subject
to change):
AUG 22 & AUG 24 @ 8pm: Los Angeles, CA:
Hollywood Bowl, Hollywood, CA (323) 850-2000
DEC
19: Miami, FL:
Miami Symphony, Miami, FL 33173, (305) 276-5666

A tribute to YOMO TORO, loved by millions!!
 If you claim to know the history of salsa, then Yomo Toro needs no introduction. Maestro Yomo should as easily qualify as
a legend of his cuatro as Cachao does his contrabass. Yomo Toro is still kicking hard at selected venues. He was in
action as recently as the Fania Allstars Renuion concert in Atlanta, and at our very own Cuatro Festival in Long beach, CA.
He's also still issuing new CD's, with his latest CD, .................. Yomo, however, is so much more than simply
a superstar musician still performing. For those of us fortunate to call Yomo a friend or a "hermano", personally knowing
Yomo means knowing one of the nicest, most down to eart human being one can possibly know. Loved by millions, myself included
(ever since I first saw him perform with Hector Lavoe in the 1970's), THANK YOU YOMO!

A tribute to DON JIBARO, of the WORLD WIDE NET!
 There is hardly a Puerto Rican on Earth who hasn't heard about Don Jibaro. There is also a Boricua Latino CULTURAL website
that carries more punch among salsa fans around the world than any other, and that's Don Jibaro's website: jibaros.com. If
a person could be nominated as the World Ambassor of all Good, it would be Don Jibaro! True lifelong friends are hard to find.
Most of us only have one or two... Getting together with my closest friend and confidant is like waking up to a beautiful
sunny morning every day!
