Salsa Power

I enjoyed reading the cultural posts below- everybody loves a good cheap wine (mine is Screw Kappa Napa). Anyway, there is a really good website I saw about the Salsa music found in New Orleans. It lists the venues available to hear all Latin American music and, most importantly, it has a listing of Latin American live music opportunities in the city. I have been doing some research for a Latin American culture class to determine if there has been an influx of cultural gatherings and opportunities for the new Latino population in New Orleans. This site lists some informal gatherings as offshoots of soccer games and small festivals, but it is unclear as to whether or not these gatherings and performances are open to the new workers that are in the city.

Here's the site: SalsaPower
