DESCRIPTION:SET 1 7:30 – 8:845 Las Guaracheras\, the all‑women salsa force bringing explosive Hispanic Heritage Month energy\n\n\n\n\n\nRutgers Institute of Jazz Studies and Gregory Burrus Productions proudly present Las Guaracheras — an electrifying all‑women salsa ensemble direct from Cali\, Colombia\, the world capital of salsa culture. As Hispanic Heritage Month unfolds across New Jersey\, this powerhouse group arrives to deliver one of the most dynamic\, rhythm‑driven performances of the season. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLas Guaracheras represent a new wave of Latin music leadership: bold\, percussive\, fiercely musical\, and rooted in the deep traditions of Colombian salsa caleña. Their sound is built on driving percussion\, tight vocal harmonies\, and the unmistakable Cali swing that has shaped dancers and musicians around the world. In a genre historically dominated by men\, Las Guaracheras stand out as cultural innovators — women commanding the stage with authority\, artistry\, and unstoppable energy. \n\n\nRegister on Eventbrite\n\n\nTheir appearance at Clements Place Jazz is more than a concert; it’s a cultural moment. The venue’s intimate\, musician‑centered environment creates the perfect setting for audiences to experience the precision\, fire\, and emotional depth of the band’s performance. Expect a night where jazz listeners\, salsa dancers\, and Latin music fans collide in a celebration of heritage\, rhythm\, and community. \n\n\n\nFor Rutgers IJS\, ” Hosting Las Guaracheras underscores the Institute’s commitment to presenting global expressions of improvisation\, rhythm\, and musical storytelling.” Wayne Winborne ED Rutgers Institute of Jazz Studies  \n\n\n\n For Gregory Burrus Productions\, this event continues a long tradition of bringing world‑class artists to New Jersey stages\, building bridges between cultures\, and creating unforgettable live experiences.  \n\n\n\nAs Hispanic Heritage Month continues\, Las Guaracheras’ New Jersey appearances — from Clements Place Jazz to Mt Zion AME Millburn and beyond  — highlight the vibrancy\, diversity\, and creative power of Latin music. Their performances remind us that salsa is not just dance music; it is history\, identity\, and a living art form carried forward by artists who embody its spirit. \n\n\n\nThis is a night for dancers\, jazz lovers\, culture seekers\, and anyone ready to feel the pulse of Colombian salsa at its highest level. Las Guaracheras are here\, and they’re bringing the fire. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGregory Burrus Productions\, led by New Jersey producer Gregory Burrus\, delivers more than 300 live music and cultural events annually\, creating one of the region’s most active pipelines for jazz\, Latin\, blues\, soul\, and world music. Burrus’s stages have become a trusted stop for national and international touring artists\, including the Katalyst Collective\, South African vocalist Sibongile Buda\, New Orleans blues powerhouse Geminii Dragon\, and numerous ensembles traveling the U.S. and abroad. His productions blend professional logistics\, strong community audiences\, and polished artist presentation\, attracting performers from across the country and around the world.
