From August 13 for one week only, the Liverpool Empire is set to be transported to Cuba - the indisputable cradle of modern salsa music, alive with hot, spicy Afro-Caribbean rhythm. We are offering readers the chance to win one of five pairs of tickets in this easy to enter competition.
Throughout the story of Cuba's history, politics and music have become melded together. Lady Salsa takes its audience on a thrilling ride through that relationship and the people and irresistible sounds that bring the island to life. Lady Salsa is THE Cuban dance and music spectacular that interweaves the amazing true story of the revolution with the history of this unique island's music and dance, tracing its roots through earthy slave rhythms, elegant twentieth century jazz and ending with a spectacular finale featuring the stunning salsa routines for which Cuba is famous today.
From the producer of West End smash hits Fame' and Saturday Night Fever' and directed by Toby Gough, this whirling kaleidoscope of dazzling colour and seductive glamour charts Cuba's vibrant and volatile history from dictatorship through to liberation with red hot rumba, mambo, cha-cha, Macarena and the sensational salsa. Gorgeous dancers in an incredible array of glittering, sexy costumes and an impossibly funky band transport audiences to the steamy streets of Havana and the world of salsa, rum and revolution.
Lady Salsa features twenty of Cuba's hottest, sexiest dancers along with an outrageously funky ten piece Cuban dance band. Leading the cast is Trinidad Ronaldo, one of Cuba's most famous actresses, singers and dancers, who has performed for more than 50 years across the world. The multi-award winning star has performed many times with members of the Buena Vista Social Club and caused a sensation recently when her impromptu kiss with President Castro (at 40th anniversary of the revolution celebrations) was transmitted live across Cuba!
