Danzón , a Salsa abuelito

If you like Latin dancing, don’t miss Danzón , a free movie that will be shown as part of the International Film Festival in Chicago on August 13th, 2014. Danzón is one of the ancestors of Salsa. The movie is about adult puppy love –but not for another person– but for the act of dancing. See “events” for details.DanzonForLinkedIn

Tango Vs Oom-pah, World Cup 2014

Germans and Argentinians clash tomorrow, July 13, in the 2014 World Cup. Let’s assume that most Latinos are cheering for Argentina. In the US, there is a combined estimated population of 98,335,232 of persons of Latino or German ancestry. Latinos account for 51.7 percent of this population and Germans account for 47 percent. Most will have no problem choosing which team to support. But there are about 1,394,710 persons (1.4 percent) who claim both Latino and German ancestry. What will they choose, tango or oom-pah?
