Salsa’s soul thrives in the heartbeat of its percussion, and at MDNISC, every conga beat and bongo slap is a testament to the genre’s fiery core. Join us as we celebrate the instruments that are the lifeblood of salsa’s signature sound at New Jersey’s premier salsa congress.
Beating Heart of Salsa
Percussion is the driving force of salsa, pulsating through each melody with vigor. Congas and bongos form the essential duo, their rhythms laying down the intricate steps and smooth sways of every dancer.
Symphony of Tradition
In the salsa orchestra, the clave’s rhythmic knock, the timbales’ spirited tap, and the maracas’ gentle rustle combine to create a rich tapestry of sound, adding depth and excitement to the dance floor.
Live Concert Highlight: Grupo K’ndela
MDNISC is proud to feature Grupo K’ndela from Newark, NJ. This talented Salsa Band infuses new life into traditional rhythms, lighting up this year’s congress with innovative flair.
