It is also the story of his large extended family living in the  rural countryside of Monte Plata as they dream along with him, hoping that his success will improve their economic situation and quality of life.

On Saturday, July 21st, Salsa Soulseros will be hosting a specialty workshop conducted by our good friend and international filmaker, Adam Taub.  Bruce and Summer originally met Adam in 2008 as he travelled the southwest showing his new film, El Duke de la Bachata, featuring Dominican musician/artist Joan Soriano.  Since then, we’ve kept in contact with and run into Adam at various Bachata events around the US. It is always a joy to hear about his new projects and travels…and now Adam will be traveling here to share his multi-media presentation and to conduct a Specialty Dance workshop.  This is an event that will enlighten you to the history and evolution of the music and the dance that we all enjoy… Bachata.  The workshop is open to all levels and will cover the many styles of traditional Dominican Bachata. This is an event you will not want to miss! For registration details click HERE.
