Dance to the sounds of award-winning NYC-based La Excelencia an eleven-piece band inspired by the salsa music of the ‘70s and the sociopolitical landscape of today. Combining traditional salsa elements with a modern and unapologetic sound, their music invigorates social mindedness amidst a powerful and danceable soundtrack, the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable social dance ¡VAYA! night at the Atrium. Founded in 2005, the band honed their sound by performing at local venues around NYC and eventually caught the attention of the international salsa community with their 2006 debut album, Salsa Con Conciencia. La Excelencia’s in-your-face sound and energetic live performances reach outside of the salsa norm to propel the band to mainstream audiences and venues. Under the leadership and direction of founder Julian Silva, La Excelencia has enjoyed solid success and continues to keep their sights on the future with a commitment to giving voice to the next generation of salseros.
