Hispanic Heritage Month – Family Weekend
Fiesta of the Americas
Friday, 03 Oct 2003 at 9:30 pm – Sun Room, Memorial Union -- Free Admission
Join Orquesta Rumba as they take you on a journey through the best of Latin American music. Under the direction of Angel Rodriquez, this 10-piece ensemble plays salsa, merengue, cumbia, bachata, mambo and more. The band's mambo medley features the tunes made famous by the later Tito Puente. Along with a wide selection of today's top hits, Orquesta Rumba plays a little of something for all Latin dance aficionados. Joining Rumba is Mexican vocalist Jesus Enriquz, a Sony RMM recording artist, who will bring "The Best of Mexico" to the stage. Trio Manases also takes the stage playing the ballads of Cuba, Venezuela and Colombia.
Stay for the entire event, including the brief question-and-answer session that follows the formal presentation. Most events run 75 minutes.
Sign-ins are after the event concludes. For lectures in the Memorial Union, go to the information desk in the Main Lounge. In other academic buildings, look for signage outside the auditorium.
