Salsa in the Midwest

Posted on: 01.14.2010

Indianapolis is one of those rare places in the world where salsa and real estate might come together in new and interesting, and certainly unexpected, ways.  It’s a city that’s famous for representing a version of the heartland of the U.S. that people generally accept.  The city is neither too big nor too small, with some gorgeous landscapes.  It’s also enormously cosmopolitan, and there are many different cultures and traditions that exist here.  The Latino population has increased tremendously in the past decade, and is still growing.

People who come to visit the city are finding it a delightful place with an enormous amount of cultural offerings.  Live theatre, dance, and music, are always to be found, and there are some stunning performers that call Indianapolis their home.  Visitors can check out www.indianapolisluxuryhotels.com to find a sumptuous place to stay that will offer splendid accommodation and wonderful hospitality.  There are many wonderful things about the midwest, and one of the most exciting has always been its adaptability, and its ability to change with the population.  So it should be no surprise to find fantastic salsa music here, and Orquestra Bravo! is one of the most visible groups in town.

They play a kind of salsa whose roots are partially in the heart of San Juan, Puerto Rico, where the rich brass accompanying the accomplished percussion makes a sound that is meant for dance halls.  It is enormously intoxicating music, and the vocal stylings and personal charm of Stacie Sandoval make it a very hot way to spend an evening, even in the heart of winter.  This is salsa at its most lush and gorgeous, and it’s changing the local soundscape in remarkable ways.  They do play salsa, of course, but also are accomplished in a number of other Latin styles, and make an evening remarkable.
