El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico

I just came back from hearing El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico at the EMP stage. The professor who runs the UW steel band organized the event in conjunction with the exhibit on latin music he also organized at the EMP. In his words, they are “the greatest salsa band in the world.” I’m not exactly a passionate fan of salsa music, but any band that’s been around for 40 years has got to be doing something right. It was a great concert. Music’s so much more fun when you can see it being made live.
