Orquesta Borinquen Live at the Copacabana, 330 Ritch San Francisco

Borinquen Live at Copacabana

Wednesday August 13th, 2008Last week was the Copacabana’s opening night at 330 Ritch.  It was a great crowd and a great venue.  At the moment it will be relished as a smaller venue that still has a lovely dance floor with room to actually dance.  But we can all see this place busting from the seams when the word reaches the San Francisco salsa community.  So I recommend getting to experience it now, before there is no room left to dance.

This week at Copacapana is our very own Bay Area Boys - Orquesta Borinquen performing live.

DJ Antonio spinning, salsa, cha cha cha, and bachata.

$10.00 Cover

Salsa Lesson with World Salsa Championship Competitors Enrique and Lucy

As one of the busiest salsa bands in the Bay Area, Borinquen consists of carefully picked musicians to make the perfect band for people who love to dance to powerful, energetic salsa. Orquesta Borinquen keeps you on your feet! The incredible sound and highly energetic personality of Borinquen is matched only by our stage presence. We love to have a great time on stage, and enjoy making music together. Come out and take a ride with Orquesta Borinquen.

Saturday August 9th

Roccapulco Supper Club

Salsa dancing is the featured attraction at this gigantic Mission District supper club, which loves nothing more than a great party!

About Frankie Ruiz:

Ruiz made significant contributions to salsa music and specifically to the “salsa sensual” movement, also known as salsa romantica. He helped to revive salsa at a time when its popularity was on a downturn. Ruiz became one of the first idols youth related to because of his own young age, handsome good looks, and true singing ability.
