Poncho Sanchez

By CHESNEY HIGGINS

Published on November 06, 2008 at 2:49am

An exhausting election year, home foreclosures, rising unemployment, the economy in a downward spiral—why go on? The only salvation left, perhaps, is good company, great music and the sheer unspeakable joy of salsa. If salsa music and Latin jazz don’t make you want to shake the bad mojo away, we can’t help you. Poncho Sanchez, one of the world’s greatest congueros and percussionists, hails from our backyard (Whittier and Norwalk) and comes once again to Steamers Jazz Café to get that booty moving and illuminate the truth that joy persists even in the darker corners of life.
