1st International Silent Salsa Dance Party
For the first time ever Salsa has arrived in Greek Town at the Ambassador Public House located at 310 S. Halsted St. Chicago, IL. Sunday December 18th from 7pm-11pm in a silent party format! Silent parties are sweeping the country and are the new wave of partying where the party-goer is in total control of their musical environment. Silent party headphones allow the listener to choose from three different channels playing three different unique styles of music! As always at the Ambassador Public House, Kizomba will be played on the blue channel. The featured dj for the evening playing Salsa and more will be on the green channel. The red channel will be the "Open Deck Dj". Once the open deck dj has completed his set the red channel turns into "Dancers Choice" (bring your favorite mp3 player, cell phone, or tablet and play your own music with a 2 song max if others are waiting). So come out and enjoy a night of International music and the one dance that's bringing us all together... KIZOMBA!!! Reserve your headphones here: EVENTBRITE.COM

FEATURED DJ: El CaObo aka The Duke of Earl
El Caobo and The Duke of Earl are the same person: staunch music aficionado, Earl Hall. For all things Latin, he uses the handle El Caobo. For all things soul, r&b, etc., he uses the handle The Duke of Earl.
El Caobo's primary passion is Latin music, all Latin music, but especially salsa/mambo, cha-cha-chá, bachata and merengue.
El Caobo is also the only official SALSA DJ and an authorized representative of the legendary Fania Records label (the Latin music equivalent to Motown Records). In fact, on Fania Records' official website, he was honored to be called "...one of the top Salsa dj’s in the world!" His relationship with this seminal record label is one of his proudest crowning achievements.
As a highly sought after DJ, El Caobo has traveled to cities across the United States (including the very cradle of salsa: New York City) to share what he affectionately calls "salsa de la mata" at venues of all sizes, from dance congresses to local clubs.
El Caobo and The Duke of Earl have been featured at the following large scale events:
- The New Jersey International Salsa Congress (twice)
- The St. Louis International Salsa Congress (seven times)
- The Chicago International Salsa Congress
- The Latin Street Salsa Congreso in Chicago
- The City of Chicago's Summer Events (every year since 2009)
