Salsa Caliente

La Vida es un Carnaval (Life is a Carnival)
Signature Song of Celia Cruz, Composed by Victor Daniel Version by Victor Manuelle, 2004 Carnegie Hall Tribute to Celia Cruz Tonight's Performance by Maribel Andrade, Arrangement by John Lake & Dan Barger

Salsa Caliente, one of Cincinnati's leading Latin bands, has been packing the dance floor of the Havana Martini Club for over seven years. The 12-piece orchestra plays energetic Latin dance music -- salsa, merengue, bachata, mambo, cumbia, cha-cha -- and has gained a loyal following of dancers and partygoers, young and old alike, from diverse cultures, backgrounds and nationalities. When Salsa Caliente starts the music, everyone wants to dance!

Music and dance bring the world together. Music and dance -- rhythms of life itself. And though this blessed evening ends, the music, the song, the dance of life -- The Living Dance Project -- shall continue the celebration. Perhaps Celia Cruz sang it best -- Life is a Carnaval.
