Labor Day weekend, SalsaDetroit.com and the Detroit Jazz Festival host local Latin favorites Orchestra Sensacional. The party happens on the 25th floor of the historic Hotel Pontchartrain (now Sheraton Detroit Riverside Hotel) in downtown Detroit.

Orchestra Sensacional recently won the 2007 Detroit Music Awards Outstanding World Music Group, and includes a six piece band with a duo of vocalists. DJs Cicsco and Peter Vazquez will be filling in the rest of the music.

The dance is Sunday, not Saturday.

I checked the DJF Web site and it says the dance is on Sunday, not Saturday - unless this is a YASalsa secret! I'll be there, but I don't know if it's the right info. Hopefully there is a dance both nights!! I think there are fireworks Saturday night.

This is what the DJF site says:
