Salsa Shark Spent a great lunch time today in Manchester Town Hall Square enjoying the free Salsa festival. Underlining the wierdness of working Saturdays, I stuck out like a saw thumb in my suit and tie (although it certainly beat the usual wondering aimlessly looking for a cash machine). Music provided by an Los Lobos xerox - who worked the quite large crowd around from stunned amazement to general love in, spontaneous dancing errupting all over. Amazed to find I knew some of the songs. There is something glorious about 'world' music played in metropolitan cities, as anyone whose spent five minutes watching four Fijians giving what for to a set of drums and pan pipes will attest to. UK Salsa seems to be hub of the UK Salsa movement (so to speak), although you can imagine terrific rivalry with Salsa-Jive (is there much crossover there?). And it been said on many occasions that Salsa is a great way to meet people so perhaps it's about time I took it up...
