****************************************************************

AFTER PARTY with Guest DJs!!!

10.45pm to 2am

Venue: Boteco Do Brasil – 62 Trongate, Glasgow G1 5EP.

Maykel Blanco and his Salsa Mayor, spun their way into the Havana music scene fifteen years ago and remain the most popular live band in Cuba. Maykel combines catchy lyrics with irresistible dancefloor-ready arrangements to make his songs favourites among DJs and dancers.

Maykel had two recent huge hits Ya Tu No Coronas and Que Tiene Que Tu Mueve (the title track of the new album) reaching #1 in the charts of Cuba’s most important radio stations.

Please try to support the event as it costs alot to bring a Cuban big band to the UK. It’s an opportunity that doesn’t arise very often.

I can access tickets at £26 still, a bit cheaper than the online link, if you want one contact LQsalsadundee@gmail.com asap and thursday is last day and they may sell out.
