Latin Friday: Marta Elena + Shum de Salsa

Fridays, we host Toronto's best Latin nights with a live salsa band & DJ! Enjoy tropical dinner & cocktails, big live Latin band & DJ. Dance to salsa, bachata, reggaeton & top 40 hits! This week, we have Marta Elena, an accomplished composer, percussionist & bandleader. She belongs to the younger generation of Cuban musicians who honour their country’s Afro-Latin musical roots while seeking new expressions of the musical traditions that course through the veins of the island nation. Having toured internationally with the legendary Cuban group Anacaona and now based in Toronto, Canada, Marta has been invited to perform with Yani Borrell, Conjunto Lacalu and the Juno-winning Cuban jazz pianist Hilario Duran. She and her 11-piece band have been featured at the Lulaworld, Salsa on St. Clair and Latin Sparks festivals.
