A responsive, appreciative crowd turned out for the highly kinetic, direct-from-Havana “Kings of Salsa” show last Saturday at the Straz Center for the Performing Arts.
It was billed as “paying homage to all the great Cuban performers, composers and dance styles” synonymous with that incredible island. Plus a “cool, contemporary twist.”
The “contemporary twist” was dominant. It was entertaining and colorful, but “Jazz, Modern Dance and Some Salsa” would have been a more accurate billing.
