Back by popular demand for a second year, Albany-based dancers Diane Lachtrupp and Johnny Martinez bring big-sound Latin band Sensemaya for an evening of fast and furious live music and Latin and salsa dancing

Taking Cuban and Puerto Rican rhythms as a starting point, Sensemaya fuses hot Latin dance rhythms with the cool sophistication of jazz improvisation. Their repertoire includes “funkified” interpretations of classic salsa and originals written in the revolutionary timba style of Cuba. Their own uniquely fresh Latin jazz compositions include a variety of styles from Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Brazil and the Dominican Republic that always have audiences jumping out of their seats and onto the dance floor.
