Vinyl Listening Sessions 09 // Nuyorican Soul & The Black Roots Of Salsa

Information

Doors open 30mins prior to listed event start time.

About:

In the 60’s New York was a hotbed of Latin culture. With the rising movement for Puerto Rican independence and civil rights, black and Latin musicians regularly turned to music to voice their feelings. The soundtrack to their struggle was deeply soulful and laid the foundations for many of the genres that are popular in Latin America today.

Mark is one half of Greenhouse Records and host of The Pickle Community Radio. Their passion for music and its connections with culture and people has led them down many a rabbit hole, picking up songs and stories from around the world.

With a new theme each month, the listening sessions will focus on music that is not only beautiful to listen to but that also tells a story about the time and place in which it was made. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the music!
