Who? Yeah, I know! That’s what I said too…until I hit the “Play” button on “Lula’s Lounge Essential Tracks”. Then I was drinking Cuban Salsa music <\/a>through a fire hydrant.<\/p>\n

Lula is a lounge in Toronto which hosts Latino music, particularly good Cuban Salsa music and Latin jazz. Lula’s Lounge is celebrating 10 years of hosting the best Latino music in Toronto, and somehow, they decided to capture some of the best of those great bands that perform there in one recording. These are bands that have been doing their own recordings.<\/p>\n

\"Hilario<\/a>
Hilario Duran (Canadian resident) teamed with Canadian Jane Bunnett in “Cuban Rhapsody”.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Unless you’re from Toronto, Canada you probably haven’t heard of Lula’s Lounge, the gathering place for Latino music <\/a>there. Neither did I, until I got a ping from PaperRockSissors (music marketing firm)\u00a0to check it out. I was glad I did.<\/p>\n

Lula’s Lounge contains 15 Salsa songs performed by 14 different artists (the only one repeated is Roberto Linares). Among the Latino music performers are the band of Cuban pianist Hilario Duran and the band of Jane Burnett.<\/p>\n

Ahh…so this is where they met to collaborate in that amazing Latin jazz album “Cuban Rhapsody”.<\/p>\n
