The next concert at the beautiful Ellwood House Museum ‘Music at the Mansion-Entertainment with the Stars’ in DeKalb (IL) will take place Wednesday, July 28th. This will be the ”Salsa at the Mansion” tribute show featuring the talented “Salsa del Norte” band.
Salsa del Notre was founded in August 2016, and strives to push the boundaries of Latin American musical traditions, covering and fusing together everything from Salsa and Latin Jazz to Son, Cha-Cha-Cha, Bachata, Cumbia, Merengue, Reggaeton, and other modern and traditional styles with the hope of helping celebrate the diverse cultures that have contributed to this vibrant genre of music. Their debut album, Lienzos, demonstrates this wide variety of influences while making them all feel connected at their roots and paying tribute to the groundwork laid by the innovation of the many musicians and their respective traditions that came before them. Please bring a lawn chair or blanket and enjoy the music. The main show starts at 7:00 PM.
