I just saw this video on Addicted2Salsa.com and I have to share this. We often talk about salsa and it's Afro Cuban roots but rarely do you see a performance that so spectacularly combines them together. This is the Descarga Caribe dance company from Chicago whom YA Salsa hosted last year for a great weekend of performances, workshops and the social. Take a look and I hope you are as amazed as I am.

Ken mentioned in his review of Flava Invasion 3 how great the performances were and now I believe him!

Atlanta Flava Invasion 3

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.
