San Francisco, CA

pellejo seco at the brava theatre

Join Pellejo Seco as they perform an evening of eclectic musical sounds rooted in Traditional Cuban music to help benefit victims of the recent hurricanes in Cuba.  A portion of the proceeds will support the Disarm Education Fund providing urgently needed medical aid to Cuba.

The damage has displaced millions of Cubans, destroying homes, schools, hospitals, factories, and crops. The Disarm Education Fund has been in existence for over thirty years and has been fighting the devastating effects of immoral and unjust foreign policy as they lend a hand to its innocent victims. They provide vital humanitarian assistance, life-saving medicine, and effective advocacy. Disarm has a strong, unequaled track record of providing urgently needed medical aid to Cuba, and their longstanding partners at hospitals and community clinics throughout Cuba are struggling to assist hurricane victims, working in dangerous rubble without basic, life-saving medicine and equipment.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–


The line-up for this special evening will include: Ivan Camblor, vocals and tres (Cuban Guitar); Livan Montoya, vocals and bass; Mario Silva, trumpet; Osvaldo Carvajal, vocals and percussion; Felix Samuel Perez Diaz, vocals; Sulkary Valverde, vocals.

For more information and ticket purchase visit: www.brava.org

About Pellego Seco:

Without a doubt, Pellejo Seco marks a new plateau in Latin music in the San Francisco Bay Area. Founded in the East Bay in 2004 by Ivan Camblor, this eclectic group has its roots in Traditional Cuban music and performs only original compositions The group produces a creative sound which combines the exquisite, popular and fantastic. In its evolutionary process, Pellejo Seco has caught its own distinct flavor which intertwines progressive Fusion Rock, Latin pop, Brazilian, Flamenco, Afro-Cuban and Jazz. Ivan Camblor named the band, Pellejo Seco, and interprets it to mean “Raw Hide.” For Ivan the name has many meanings, one of which is to describe the dry and leathered skin of a “campesino” or farmer. “Enganchate,” is the first CD for Pellejo Seco. The title can be loosely translated to mean “Grab on.” As you listen to this album, you will definitely want to grab onto the exciting rollercoaster of musical themes and genres which winds you through a world full of complex energetic dance rhythms and beautiful love ballads. All the music on this album is composed by Ivan Camblor Allende. Ivan is a new composer from Havana, Cuba. In Cuba, Ivan played his Tres (a Cuban guitar) with many traditional Cuban bands, many of which performed his songs. Other accomplishments for Ivan include a collaboration with Edesio Alejandro, the most prominent Cuban Soundtrack artist today, on two scores for the film, ”Hacerse el Sueco.” Ivan moved to the United States in November 2004 to be with his wife, Deborah Simon-Weisberg, who is also featured on the CD singing “Calma.”

Do You Have the "Salsa Connection"? Check out this article to find out!!

This is a little intro for a series of 12 articles on

salsa connection from

blog.salsa-challenge.com

Salsa Connection is what holds the dance together. When you have the connection down the dance becomes not only more fluid, syncronized, but most importantly….more fun. My favorite dancers have a deep understanding of what the "Salsa Connection" is and how to apply it to the dance. Check out the full series to see if you have the "Salsa Connection".

Salsa Connection

Part I: Introduction to the Salsa Connection Blog Series

I clearly remember the exact moment when it finally dawned on me, although I’d known it for a long time. It was last December. Elise Butler, my former salsa student and frequent dance partner, was home from New York University, where she is a student, for the winter holidays. During the holiday we had only an hour or so to meet, catch up, and dance a little. We chatted a bit over coffee and then turned on the music to dance salsa. As we danced the familiar joy and ease of dancing together quickly returned. I never fail to be amazed at how great it is to really dance with another person and dancing with Elise is really fun. The moment came when in the middle of leading Elise in a simple right turn I was suddenly inspired to change it into a left turn. I was astounded that Elise followed this without a hitch or jerk. She smiled to show her pleasure at executing this surprise lead. We were truly connected in our dancing; we had what I call the salsa connection.

salsa-dance, salsa-connection, learn-to-dance, salsa-dance-articles, salsa dancing

I couldn’t get this moment off my mind all winter and increasingly began to appreciate and articulate what I already knew: the joyous fun smooth effortless salsa dancing simply cannot be done without having the skill to create with your partner the salsa connection. This is as true for girls as for guys, for follows as well as leads. I see it also as fundamental to social dancing and, I’ll be bold here, it is also a metaphor for all relationships.

Appreciating the importance of the salsa connection has changed the way I teach salsa dancing. I see it as the most important thing I have discovered about salsa dancing, the inspiration for a major development in my teacing, and amazingly it now begins to resonate with almost everything in my life. As Elise and I have developed our teaching of salsa in our summer offering called, not surprisingly, Salsa Connection, I am finding that the students in my classes and my private students are all greatly appreciating the concept and more so experiencing the results. All find it important to their dancing and to their lives.

  • What is the salsa connection and why don’t we get it?
  • Touch and the salsa connection
  • Negotiating the salsa connection
  • Eye contact and the salsa connection
  • Music and the salsa connection
  • Teaching equally to follows and leads via the salsa connection
  • Salsa connection from a relationship perspective—for men
  • Salsa connection from a relationship perspective—for women
  • Flow and the salsa connection
  • Existential Phenomenology and the salsa connection (Yikes!)
