"" What is "Somo Salseros ?" ""

The beginning of a new form of event that is neither a dance event nor a live event.

"Somos salseros" is a project to jump over the boundaries of dance style, jump over musicians, dancers, and DJs , and enliven the future scene with all the people involved in "Salsa ".

"Two-way participatory roundtable discussion"

We are looking for people who are already dancing (playing) salsa, people who are interested in salsa but are unable to take a step, and those who have "what I can't ask now" or "in the first place" questions and questions. , It is an event that responds mainly to free talk with practical skills of performance and dance.

Dancers who are active in different styles on a daily basis, musicians who are performing in various genres as well as Latin music, and
DJs who listen to music more than others and have deep knowledge gather together and talk carefully. Is likely and unlikely.
It's like a salsa trade fair.
You will find most questions and answers to your questions.
Also, both dancers and musicians may find new things by knowing each other.

Please take this opportunity to clear up things related to dance, music, and things that have been moody for a long time.

event, this event page on Facebook ・ On the day of the event, we will accept it in the comment section of YouTube.

Born October 1987 in Santiago de Cuba. He began to be interested in art from an early age. Under the influence of his father, whose hobby is music, he grew up in an environment surrounded by parties, singing, dancing, and history, which unknowingly formed his talent, and at the age of 11 , he played the first song as a harmony instrument. Make without using. The only thing he had was inspiration. I was able to memorize the melody, arrangement, and details without recording. No physical help was needed in his creative process.

In 1999 , he began attending the Cultural Center in search of further progress, and in 2003 he entered an art education school at the age of 14 and studied in earnest. There, he learns to play the guitar, piano and Cuban percussion instruments, highlights his musical and creative abilities, and earns a degree in music major.

Two years later, he moved to Japan, where he entered a new stage. Sagarra Music , the most important project that brings together his aspirations and talents, will bring out his talents as a producer and solo musician. I can talk a lot more about this talented person who will eventually be seen in the world.

Keep an eye on him in the future. I will never regret it.
