Se Permite Bailar
 

 

In just ten years Madisalsa has become a strong force on the Midwestern musical scene. Celebrating the richly varied sounds of latin dance and jazz music since its inception in 1992, this exciting combination of ten musicians from very diverse musical and cultural backgrounds continues to expand the borders of mambo, merengue and salsa to the delight of audiences throughout Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois. From the traditional to the contemporary, from Cuban to Dominican to Puerto Rican, the music of Madisalsa reflects a unique vision of the direction of popular latin music.

Since their formation, Madisalsa has performed hundreds of shows and received extraordinary reviews. Madisalsa played for the 2002 US Conference of Mayors, broke the audience attendance record at the Dane Dances, and was voted Madison’s favorite dance band for the third year in a row by the readers of the Isthmus Newspaper. In addition to their critically acclaimed debut recording Del Caribe al Corazón—which caught the attention of music editors at MTV and the Discovery Channel—Madisalsa’s music can be heard on their second CD Se Permite Bailar, to be released summer 2003.
