Are you ready for Salsa Saturday?

This Saturday one of BC’s top Latin dance bands arrives in Kelowna.
Mazacote were last here for the amazingly popular Summer Street Social
– where they filled Kerry Park with dancing.
Now they are back to headline the Saturday night portion of Global
Music Fest. Held at the Laurel Packinghouse, Global Music Fest is part
of Global Citizen Kelowna. Their goal is to educate, entertain, and
inspire.

If you’re in the mood to dance, the Friday and Saturday edition are right
up your alley.

MAZACOTE is a hard hitting six piece latin dance band, playing
horn-driven New York salsa dura and beats from Colombia, Puerto Rico
and Cuba.

Based in Vancouver, the band features Nicaraguan singer-songwriter
David Lopez, with Grammy Award-winning Cuban percussionist Toto
Berriel on congas, latin jazz trumpeter Malcolm Aiken, and a
groove-heavy rhythm section featuring Chris Couto on timbales, Aaron
McKinney on bass, and from Osaka Japan, pianist Niho Takase. They
perform across the West Coast at festivals and dance clubs, bringing
the exciting latin dance party vibe to audiences of all ages!

Opening the Saturday show for Global Music Fest is Kytami. You’ve seen
her at Keloha and Parks Alive! she dubs herself a Violinistextremist
