This site is dedicated to bringing Chicago area salsa fans up to speed about an almost forgotten era in Chicago - The Salsa era. This is not to say that salsa is still not around for salsa will never disappear. Its intent is to share the experience with those that didn't know about it and to revive the experience in those that lived it. We welcome articles from anyone who would like to share their experience during this time.

Flashback to the 70's - El Mirador
Here is a picture someone sent me recently of the house band at El Mirador on North Avenue during the 70's. Menique is the leader. If you remember form a prior post, El Mirador was the exclusive Latin Night Club that featured Tito Puente during that time. Menique and this group took over the house band duties after Puente moved on. How many of these musicians do you recognize? (Hint - some are still around).
