Add Review/Comment

Live at the Landmark presents a concert and dance, featuring one of the most joyful and dynamic salsa and world music dance bands in the world; Ricardo Lemvo & Makina Loca. Their infectious fusion of Latin and African music has been hailed as the future of African Salsa. Ricardo Lemvo was born in the Congo and grew up listening to the Cuban greats like Orquesta Aragón and Abelardo Barroso. After moving to Los Angeles, he founded Makina Loca in 1990 to create a new blend of Cuban and Congo music. Ricardo Lemvo has established himself as a pioneer with his innovative music, combining Latin and African elements from salsa to soukous with an occasional merengue. This Congo-born artist of Angolan ancestry is the embodiment of the Afro-Latin Diaspora, which connects back to Mother Africa via the Cuban clave rhythm. Since forming his band Lemvo has refined his craft and vision, raising his joyous voice with strength, singing songs that celebrate life, and most importantly, inspiring his audiences to let loose and dance away their worries.

To add to an already extraordinary night of fun at the majestic 1920’s Landmark Ballroom,  try your luck at the Tea Room Casino featuring craps, roulette, and blackjack tables. For those who like to dance, you will not find a better place with 3,000 square feet of  “sprung” dance floor. Join in on this rare opportunity to dress to the 9’s, dance all night, and enjoy a world-class salsa performance!

Get Dancing! Friday, February 28th!

    Trust me, you will love this performance. Their records are great, and we saw them at Mexican Heritage Plaza a few years ago and can confirm that this band is fabulous live!
