ACAS at Freight & Salvage Again Tonight
Tom Ehrlich's Photos from Last Night
The Afro-Cuban All Stars were amazing last night - only one personnel change. Freight and Salvage is a great venue - wonderful acoustics with a looser, dance atmosphere. Click here for tickets and more info.

2018 Tour Begins Tonight!
ACAS begins its 2018 tour tonight in South Orange, New Jersey. They'll be in the Bay Area at Freight & Salvage next Tuesday and Wednesday.
It will be essentially the same lineup as last year - here's my review of that tour.
2018 Festival de la Salsa en Cuba
February 21st - 25th
The 2018 Festival de la Salsa en Cuba is almost upon us and, as with previous years, I will be unable to attend. Fortunately, the Facebook page shares a lot of good photos and videos, so I will follow along there. Also as with previous years there is an all-star line-up for the nightly concerts as well as music and dance workshops, DJ parties and After Parties. This year also includes an excursion in Havana to important places for Cuban musical and cultural production under the guidance of none other than Pedro Lázaro Ordoñez - better known as Papucho, bassist and bandleader of Manana Club.
Participants can buy complete passes for all events and concerts, concert-only passes or a day pass that is good from 5pm for one day only. The after parties are not included in any of the passes but are something you don't want to miss with animations, DJs, and separate dance floors for traditional versus contemporary music. Foreigners will not be able to attend events this year by buying tickets in moneda nacional, but you can purchase your tickets by following this link.

| 21st | Wil Campa |
| 22nd | Yasser Ramos y su Tumbao Mayombe El Niño y la Verdad Papucho y Manana Club Havana D'Primera |
