<td><p>New York's 'Spanish Harlem' district is world-famous for its Latino sub-culture. This eponymous show takes the viewer on a journey through time from the 1920s to the present. Virtuoso music and dance are accompanied bya multi-vision with images from various eras. It brings you right into the middle of the backyards and club scene of 'Spanish Harlem'. A Latino sextet mastering all grooves, three singers and twelve award-winning dancers make this "hot show of Latin music, song & dance" an experience for all the senses.
</p>
<p><a href="http://spanishharlem.org/"><img src="http://spanishharlem.org/img/gianna-timbales.jpg" width="608"></a></p>
<p>A total of <strong>20 performers</strong> in changing costumes move through the decades, from the glamorous 1920's to the soul and flower power era of the 60's, to the present day where hip-hop and break-dance thrive. Each decade has its own history, fashion, musical direction and of course dance styles: Mambo, Conga, Cha Cha Cha, Salsa or La Pachanga.</p>
<p>So not only is the audience well entertained, the <em>zeitgeist </em>is conveyed<em> </em>through a convincingly narrated storyline about the artists shaping the epochs and the life of the Latinos, successes or failures. <a href="http://spanishharlem.org/"><img src="http://lucasvanmerwijk.com/img/spanish-harlem/thumbnails/spanish-harlem-20180119150012-0.jpg" width="250" style="float:right; height:216px; margin:4px; width:300px" hspace="4" vspace="4" border="0" align="right" /></a></p>
<p>Harlem is named after the Dutch city of Haarlem. When in 1917 many immigrants from Puerto Rico settled here, the nickname "Spanish Harlem" developed. The immigrant Latinos came with the hope and the dreams of finding a better life there. In their luggage, they also brought with them a lot of music that shaped American culture remarkably over the next 100 years. Without this influence, jazz would never have become what it is today. Also the marriage of Soul and Gospel with Latin music produced a very special offspring named "Boogaloo" or "Latin Soul".</p>

The LED multivision displays their images and the ever changing life of the Hispanic part of New York through the years. </p>
<p>From New York's Spanish Harlem, Latin Music began its triumphal march through the world. The districts cultural heydays may be over, wealthy yuppies are driving up rents which makes life difficult for Hispanic immigrants. However there is still a conspicuous Latino scene that clings to its cultural heritage and beloved district.</p>
