http://www.seattle.gov/transportation/pave_85th.htm

Metro bus notices seem to indicate the closure is postponed, but the city website doesn’t say that, and there are signs all over 80th, so I would expect a closure.

Maykel Blanco in his first US tour will be playing in Bellingham (Blue Horse) on Saturday 10/15 and in Seattle (Club Sur) on Sunday 10/16. Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to meet this world famous band and dance to them with all your energy. A bailarrrr!

The band initially just had Miami, New York and San Francisco and now thanks to a combined effort is coming to the Northwest. Both concerts are guaranteed to be sold out.

For the Bellingham show: doors open at 9pm. There will be a Timba lesson at 9:30pm and a dance demo. Also the night will be invaded by Casineros, Timberos and Rumberos from Vancouver, Canada and Seattle, that means Rueda will be popping all night (and then we’ll take to the streets!)

Tickets: $22 pre-sale, $25 day of event
Note: This same show is $50 a ticket in New York and San Francisco. Due to the cost of the event we have limited the amount of pre-sale tickets to cover the expenses. Get your tickets soon at:
Blue Horse Gallery Cafe or
Rumba Northwest classes or Cafe Cubano
For information call: (360) 595-7369 or
e-mail: rumbanorthwest@gmail.com

Stay tuned for details on the Seattle show!
