Alex Wilson Salsa con Soul Album Launch, Friday 21st November
alex_piano1
Somewhere between London and Havana, volcanic activity has triggered the emergence of a new tropical island – Salsa con Soul. Alex Wilson and his 12 piece Salsa Orchestra set off the eruption at a launch party at the Jazz Cafe, 5 Parkway, London NW1 7PG on Friday, 21st November.

Salsa con Soul is the latest destination for Alex Wilson on his circumnavigation of world rhythms and beats. Inglaterra, Wilson's 5th album, was his first to feature the fire water of Salsa Dura neat, with tracks like Show Me and a salsafied version of Chaka Khan's Ain't Nobody appearing on 10 compilations and burning up dance floors in salsa clubs across the UK. Again, Wilson's own R&B Latino - title track from the eponymous album - created a cocktail of Cuban rhythms and R&B that blows away all the cobwebs on the dance floor.

Now, the voyage continues to a new destination with Wilson's 6th album. The UK's top Latin/jazz pianist and band leaders of one of Britain's most popular salsa crews introduces a new flava and groove - Salsa con Soul con Gospel plus a new line featuring soul divas Aquilla Fearon and Naomi Phillips plus Elpidio Caicedo.

Boldly going where no one has gone musically before, this UK band is consistently managing to turn out some of the most authentic and tastiest salsa grooves you'll hear anywhere in the world. With Salsa con Soul, Alex Wilson comes full circle, returning to his soul roots. Expect an earthy, romantic, uplifting gig that's going to inspire and challenge dancers.
