( Rochelle Lessner ,PdxSalsa Investigative Reporter, recounts what happened this last Thursday in West Linn when the Band Conjunto Alegre showed up).
Last night, on my way to see Conjunto Alegre play at Tanner Park in West Linn, I was skeptical whether West Linn would get the salsa groove, but it definitely did! Conjunto Alegre put on a great show. It was the perfect warm and delicious late August evening for a night of outdoor salsa and we danced until sunset.
The crowd loved the band and the dance floor was jumpin’. Kids were up on stage (check out Oscar’s darling son playing guiro in the video), folks were dancing all over the place and Conjunto Alegre rocked! A bunch of the casino rueda folks were there doing their thing and Terri Kuechle made her debut singing lead
with the band! In case you’re bummed that you missed this, they’re doing it again next Wednesday at Ventura Park in east Portland. Look for Aquiles’ posting on it and do go. We had a fantastic night. Thanks Conjunto Alegre!
