HLT Tribute to Oscar De Leon

Hey Everyone, After two fantastic parties to kick off 2019 we are back with yet another evening that you are going to enjoy to the fullest. Its not his Birthday Its not an iconic date to him either Its jus our want to pay a Tribute to the man himself. Oscar De Leon A little bit about him: Oscar Emilio León Simoza, better known as Oscar D'León (b. July 11, 1943) is a Venezuelan musician who became internationally famous for his salsa music. In Spanish, he is known as El Sonero del Mundo ("the Son Singer of the World") or as El Sonero Mayor ("the Great Son Singer"). His most famous song is perhaps "Llorarás," which he recorded in 1975 with his group La Dimensión Latina. During the 1980s, D'León achieved success in salsa music, and is now one of the great singers of Caribbean music. Meanwhile, he got tired of carrying around his double bass, "and opening the case at baggage claim on the airport only to find it reduced down to toothpicks"; therefore, he gave up playing a bass guitar onstage. He also started shaving his head regularly, as to not bother with alopecia any longer. Because of successful tours throughout America and Spain, D'León was the first latino to sign a contract with the BBC. Lets get together this HLT and listen and dance to some of the excellent music he has made and is still making for the world today :) Oscar is indeed The Lion of Salsa :) Whats the plan of action: Date: 17th Jan 2019 Timing: 7pm onwards till 1130pm Workshop: Salsa Partnerwork with Hitesh Teckchandani (The Salsawala) We are planning to have a little quiz on Oscar De Leon too: This is to be confirmed though :) We shall have Souvik Banerjee behind the lens, clicking the night away We shall have some fun animations you all could be a part of Lets come out and have another great evening at HLT: The place to be!
