Milwaukee - On Friday, Orgullo Latino Spanish 91.7 FM radio kicked off its Salsa bash fundraiser with Carmen La Salsera singing "Aguanile" at the Wherehouse Nightclub, 818 South Water Street. Salseros in the House erupted to Carmen La Salsera's explosive jam. Last night, was a long overdue presentation from one of Milwaukee's female salseras out of Wisconsin. Her performance led to offers from other band leaders, that a local band would be ready to backup Carmen's decision to perform in the future.
In total, eight local Latino singers performed at a full house during the night, which each of the singers have their own popular bands. The presentation became the first of its kind in Milwaukee's night club scene. The singers Carmen Latus, best known as Carmen La Salsera, Roberto Figueroa (Nabori), Dennis Lopez (Spanglish), Joey Burgos (Clave y Afinque), Miguel A. Colon Jr. (D'CalleSon), Ramon Velez, Christine Almeida, Junior Rivera Medina (Clave y Afinque) and Roberto, el Rockero con Flow were accompanied by Pueblo Latino Orchestra with Cecil Negron. Jose "Papa Joey" Sanchez, known as the number one Bachata acoustic guitarist in Wisconsin played with the band and Carlos Velasquez Sanchez, Jose Cruz, and Jose Torres lead singers of Orquesta Veneno, a popular Merengue group played a set at the fundraiser.
Most of the singers performed to music by Hector Lavoe and other songs. The lead singers previously mentioned are known for their unique talents.
The show and fundraiser was organized by Felix and Wally Ramos, both long time radio personalities at Orgullo Latino radio program at WMSE 91.7 FM on Sundays from noon to 3:00 p.m. A historical moment, when Ramos during the night invited all the local singers who appeared earlier to come up to the stage for a song. They sang "Quitate Tu Pa Ponerme Yo," it turned out to be one of the best performances as a group.
Adam Lee Smith, Manager of Wherehouse Nightclub said, their combine set performance was "chilling" and awesome.
The music jam, drew hundreds of people near the stage area and they began to snap photos of the performance with their cameras and cell phones. The Milwaukee local singers have become well known in the night club scene and community outdoor events for their music talent, which no doubt have gained a reputation fit for music stars in the entertainment world in Milwaukee and tri-state area.
The DJ's were the popular Tito Ayala, best known in the Milwaukee area nightclub scene and Rick who spinned the hottests Latin jams on the market today. Friday's event will go down in history as one of the best Latino musical gigs ever organized for Orgullo Latino's radio program.
Update: Orgullo Latino reported it raised more than $1,100 on Friday's event and on Sunday's radio three hour broadcast raised more than $4,000 during the call in marathon. More than 60 calls came in with donation pledges.
