Rain Couldn't Stop Puerto Rican Pride at Salsa in the MIX
Bronx, NY -- What A Great Turn Out at the Salsa in the Mix Festival on Saturday, July 28, 2012, where crowds of more than 2,000 filled Crotona Park! As the Puerto Rican flags were flying strong, so did the culture and pride of those that came to dance the afternoon away! None of the success would be possible without the artists who performed- Herencia De Plena, E.C., Papito Surcuatro, Phillip Anthony, Gemini, Kandelo, Young Raze, Artie and Legit, the list goes on and on! Great dance performances from The Tanima Dancers and The South Bronx Kids. The main headliners didn't get to perform because of the sudden downpour of rain in the final hour, but NiteLine Radio and DJ Solo Remix kept the party going on the ones and twos while broacasting live!

President, Francisco Gonazalez, said "Our mission within the Bronx Puerto Rican Parade, is to include all ethnic groups within the City. Salsa in the Mix 'helps us do that."
An added surprise was the breakout Flash Mob, thanks Jose Enriquez and Katie Gomez, choreographers, for the awesome dance routine. Thank you to Annette Casper DeJesus and Catherine Fonseca for teaming up together and organizing the flash mob performance! Herencia De Plena was gracious enough their set to be interrupted for the Flash Mob showcase! Another
great year of hosting by Artie Rodriguez and Maribel Mercado, Artie kept the crowds up beat and even threw on a TuTu for more laughter! Photos froze the fun through pictures for future generations to enjoy, taken Carlos Mercado and Catherine Fonseca!
