La Fiesta! Saturday Night after the Concert
fiesta Join Alfredo Ortiz, Patrice Fisher & Carlos Valladares and Angel Tolosa with his band Ensamble Contratiempo for a lively evening of Latin music and dancing. Last year's first Fiesta was a roaring success. The musicians jammed on stage and people improvised dances. Luzma got a conga line going at some point and somebody started the limbo! Ladies, feel free to wear a flouncy skirt and gents can wear a loose-fitting long-sleeved shirt or just come as you are! Grab a drink from the bar. Relax and enjoy the ambience. After all day sitting in harp workshops, get moving!
