About Mazacote:
Mazacote is the hard-swinging, old-school salsa group led by legendary percussionist Louie Romero, who came to fans’ attention as the longtime timbales player for famed salsero "El Cantante" Hector Lavoe. Louie is also renowned for his work with Willie Colón, Rubén Blades, Celia Cruz, Ron Carter, and other salsa and jazz stars in his native New York.
Based in San Francisco, Mazacote plays a crowd-pleasing, high-energy mixture of classic salsa favorites and original latin jazz tunes. It’s no wonder that Latin Beat magazine called Mazacote "one of the premier salsa ensembles in Northern California."
Recently, the band released the album “Timbalero.” Its title track is a fresh take on Louie’s classic 1972 recording of the song with Hector Lavoe and Willie Colón. The album — filled with soulful and danceable salsa, cha-cha, latin jazz, Cuban guajira, and bomba — is receiving rave reviews from dancers, DJs, and music critics alike.

About the Beat Dance Studio:
The Beat, Eddie Brown Center for the Arts, is a non-profit dance center located in Berkeley, CA, which serves the Greater Bay Community and surrounding areas. Our particular focus on the vernacular dance form of rhythm tap is especially emphasized to inner city youth and "at risk" kids who might otherwise not have access to the arts. Rhythm tap incorporates jazz rhythms along with lost dance forms that are specific to the African-American community and provide a direct artistic link to their cultural heritage.
