Live Salsa Music @ Sangria DISCONTINUED

All I can say is that Sundays at Sangria with Grupo Escobar is pretty damm good! I have to admit that I was skeptical about Sundays at Sangia -- not a lot of marketing and I just wasn't sure that salsaeros would turn out and support a band week after week. I was clearly mistaken! This was my second time there. The first time I made it there, the turnout was OK, but just OK. Things seem to have picked up and it looks like this will really stick.

It seems like every few months I',m compelled to write about Sunday's at Sangria which somewhat to my suprise but much to my delight is really kicking now. Being the night before New Years Eve, my guess was that it would be pretty empty as everyone saved up energy for the big one. But to my amazement, when I arrived the place was packed. Every table was filled, the band was swinging and the dance floor was already jumping. I hadn't even planned to take any pictures, but it was such a great night that I couldn't help myself.

It's always great it is to see the dancers come out in force, but it's even better to see a lot of new faces. One couldn't help but notice the many new people either having dinner and drinks or out for their first time dancing and seeing what salsa is really about. One of the new faces was Shahida Nurullah - one of Detroit's jazz gems who knows her clubs and it was obvious that she absolutely loved the music and vibe.
