Carlsbadistan’s Jazz In The Park gets spicy as it moves West to Poinsettia Park with the big band salsa sounds of Johnny Polanco y Su Conjunto Amistad.
As the fearless leader of the ultimate West Coast Latin party band, Polanco, who hails from the Caribbean by way of New York, serves as multi-instrumentalist, composer and arranger for his band, Conjunto Amistad. Over the years the group has solidified its reputation for a sound described by Latin music chronicler Lina Lecaro as “the kind of infectious, rhythmic, multilayered Latin music that makes even the most timid wallflower abandon all restraint and give it a whirl on the dance floor.”
Sounds like exactly what we need as a finish for the week.
