Latin Dance Night on Saturday was the perfect kick off to the 2008 season at Ravinia Festival. The weather was gorgeous and the music was hot! Groupo Yuba welcomed everyone at the main gate with traditional Puerto Rican drumming, singing and dancing.
The Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra started the night off in great form. Tiempo Libre got everyone up and on their feet dancing to the infections Tropical rhythms. And speaking of dancing, check out the moves by Luna Negra!
It got me really excited about our next Latin night on June 14 when Los Tigres del Norte take stage for the first time at Ravinia. Los Tigres is a hugely popular Mexican band which follows in the tradition of storytelling through music. The songs are written around real life issues, including working class problems, immigration, love and relationship struggles.
Los Tigres del Norte was the first concert I saw when I was just a little kid. I still remember sitting on my dad’s shoulders and watching the crowd cheering and dancing. For the people who know Los Tigres, this is going to be a fantastic night of memories and tradition. For those who don’t know about them, come out and see for yourself why this group has won multiple Grammy awards and sold more than 32 million albums world wide. You don’t want to miss it!
