Union Station will be the main stop for fans of salsa music with an evening of live music and dance lessons all for free during “Metro Art Presents: Salsa Night at Union Station,” which happens from 7-10 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 28 at the station’s Ticket Concourse.
The night at the historic station will be headlined by La Verdad, an ensemble led by award-winning singer-songwriter Gabriel Gonzalez. The group will perform a mix of traditional and original music spanning from salsa to cha-cha to boogaloo to cumbia to Latin soul and more. Gonzalez is a multi-talented artist whose career spans film, music and theater. He has toured with artists such as Bruno Mars, Juan Gabriel, Los Van Van, and Anderson .Paak. Also on the bill is DJ Tosstones Aponte, a Grammy-nominated musician and producer who blends genres like salsa, hip-hop, afrobeats and jazz in his music.
But what if you can’t dance?
No worries Union Station has that covered too because the night will start with free salsa lessons for dancers of all levels. And get there early too because the first 40 visitors who show their TAP card to the Metro Art info table will receive a free copy of the book “Los Angeles Through the Eyes of Artists.”
