Just in case you’re wondering, the third annual AZ Salsa Festival is not about the stuff you eat. It’s a celebration of Latin dance featuring hot DJ sets and electrifying performances by international superstars.
To quell the potential confusion, the patient, good-natured event organizers at www.AZSalsa.net provided the following answers to our queries:
1. What kind of tortilla chips should people bring? [Please, no chips.]
2. Will headliner Tito Rojas share his secret pico de gallo recipe? [The cooking skills of legendary and prolific Puerto Rican singer/bandleader Rojas are irrelevant to this event, at which he and his band will perform salsa music.]
When news happens, Phoenix New Times is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
3. For the “Learn How to Salsa” workshops at the beginning of the evening, are rubber gloves recommended? Maybe mask and snorkel? [No. You’ll be learning to dance, not to chop onions, peppers, etc.]
Honestly, just mention tickets, which cost $25 in advance, and you’ll be on the fast track to being so hot right now. Like salsa.
