All-Female Salsa Band To Perform Twilight Show On UES Esplanade

UPPER EAST SIDE — Ever wanted to dance salsa under the stars along the banks of the East River?

If so, then you better mark Aug. 10 on your calendar.

The Friends of the East River Esplanade are spicing up the night with an evening of salsa music courtesy of the all-female salsa band, Lulada Club, bringing their incandescent performance to Andrew Haswell Green Park for a night of dancing under the stars.

The nine-member collective has been a Latin music favorite in the city for years, mixing up boogaloo, bolero, and cha cha cha while performing at top venues like Lincoln Center and Summer Stage — where they'll be performing on Aug. 2 as well.

Lead by vocalist Andrea Chavarro, the group formed as a combination of her love for salsa and her impulse to try to make an all-female ensemble group, she told NBC 4 in December, and wanted to pay tribute to the iconic salsa culture in Cali, Colombia.

The concert is free and runs from 6-8 p.m. at Andrew Haswell Green Park.
