Salsa Under the Stars

Dance the night away with the spirited sounds of salsa, merengue and more from David Cedeño and His Orchestra. Together with his orchestra, David plays a large variety of music such as Latin salsa, Latin jazz, meringue, ballads, and waltzes. Still believing that music was “made to be shared”, David rearranged some popular English hits by adding a Latin salsa beat while still keeping the original lyrics in English. These English titles include Lady in Red, Will You Love Me Tomorrow, Somewhere, & Sealed with a Kiss. His initiative opened the gate for other Latin performers to attempt a crossover and introduce their music to America.
