First I would like to congratulate the Colts for bringing us a Super Bowl victory! Their victory shows that Indianapolis has great potential of becoming a city that people admire. When I moved to Indianapolis, I viewed it as a startup city looking for its identity. Will this Super Bowl victory help give Indy an identity? Only time will tell. Ok, enough with the introductions, back to the good stuff salsa!
The Nations in Rhythm concert was the kick-off event for Super Bowl XLI. This was a fundraising event for the Young at Art Children's Museum. The concert showcased a variety of world beats. There were also Latin acts that included salsa dancers and musicians! While it was only a small section of showcase, I think it is a major step in the right direction in introducing salsa to the masses. Just having salsa associated with the Super Bowl is priceless!
I found this video clip that highlighted the salsa performances. I did not see the kick-off show and only have this video clip as a reference. I see that there were both salsa and rueda dancers performing. This should put smiles on the faces of OpenSourceSalsa (Indy’s own rueda dance team).
A victory for the Colts, Indianapolis and Salsa!
