About this Event

El verano va llegando y La Rumba se pone aun mas caliente...esta vez con nuestro invitado especial, directo desde Nueva York, Christian Martir. In 2014 Christian founded Sociedad Records through which he has released a critically acclaimed series of highly sought after rare salsa recordings on vinyl from the golden era of salsa. Additionally the label has established a roster of new artists which are defining the modern Latin sound. Over the last several years, the DJ and modern renaissance man, has spread his love for soulful rhythms everywhere from Madison Square Garden to Mexico City. He has worked with various labels including Fania Records and Names You Can Trust, putting out a collection of mixes which have garnered him much respect worldwide. La Rumba Buena is a night dedicated to classic Latin sounds inspired by the salsatecas in Cali, Havana, and New York. No frills, pure vibes, and a non-stop dance floor open to anyone who catches the rhythm. La Rumba Buena just means a great party and ‘Rumber@s’ are people who love to dance. Expect to hear Salsa, Boogaloo, Cumbia, Guaguanco, Son, Rumba, Descargas, Mambo, Cha-Cha-Cha, Bomba, and Plena from the resident DJs. With a stack of vinyl collected over a decade from across the Americas, DJs Blancon and Drumspeak play out the sounds from the Latin Diaspora and bring La Rumba Buena to Toronto.
