As another contributor recently noted, salsa is becoming an international sensation. I just wanted to share the experience I had while on vacation in Thailand.

Albert Lai and I recently had the opportunity to visit Thailand during the Thai New Year celebration (Songkran). Part of the trip was spent in Bangkok, where we were able to do some salsa dancing.

I just wanted to share my thoughts about Flava Invasion 3. I had an awesome time. Gordon Neil and iMambo.tv have done an impressive job putting together this event.

Downtown Atlanta was the site for the weekend's activities. Among the many performers were several names that will be familiar to any follower of YA Salsa: The above noted Gordon Neil, Troy Anthony, Sekou McMiller, Magna Gopal, and Shaka Brown. For the Saturday concert, Fania All Star Larry Harlow, Joel "Masacote" Massicot, and Orquesta Macuba played a blistering set. Add to this dancing that was easily on the level of a congress, and you can see why I am giving this event such a good review. As always, I took a few photos to share. I hope you enjoy them.
