Neo Spanglish!

Returning to the Sheridan, we welcome

Neo Spanglish Afro-Cuban Big Band!

Spanglish is a 21 piece Big Band playing a variety of danceble tunes. So, bring your dancing shoes for a bit of Thursday fun!

"Hi, I'm Ned Zeppelin.  I lead a fun new 21-person band called Neo Spanglish!  We are muy loco about the world's happiest style of music:  New York Palladium Ballroom-style salsa big band and it's more modern variants, too.  I've been researching and hunting for lost and non-existent sheet music for the greatest Mambo/Merengue/Cha Cha/Comparsa recordings of salsa big band greats Tito Puente, Perez Prado, Machito's Mario Bauza, Arturo Sandoval, Paquito de Rivera, Michel Camilo, Chano Pozo/Dizzy Gillespie, Woody Herman and more. 

Many of these songs were only written down for the recording session and then ended up in a file cabinet, or were lost, or discarded.  If a song totally affects me with its emotional intensity, I HAVE TO FIND IT.  Come discover this thrilling, largely lost world of Salsa Big Band with us.  

Satisfaction guaranteed:  If you don't absolutely love our music, scouts honor I'll bite a bug. "  

There will be food and beverages available. This is an all-ages event, and cover is $10/pp
