June 2007 News@Berklee.edu Features Juan and Dile

June 1, 2007

Díle in D.C.
Díle, Berklee's 10-piece, Afro-Cuban salsa machine, blew through Washington, D.C. on May 24, making lots of new friends. In four days, leader Juan Chavez and the band played on the Voice of America, XM Radio's Caliente channel, and to a dancing-room only show in the Kennedy Center's Terrace Theater. Watch the webcast.

Juan P. Chavez & Dile Perform for Stuck on Salsa Pre-Memorial Day Party

Friday May 25, 2007

I was extremely fortunate to make an amazing new friend, Earl Rush (mastermind behind stuckonsalsa.com,) and meet and dance with some amazing people in D.C. this past Friday.

I, Juan P. Chavez, and Dile were lucky enough to play for some of the best dancers in the D.C. area. A good friend of mine, Betto from North Carolina's Mambo Dinamico, suprised me by showing up and of course my Sammy was there to support me. So you can be assured that there were plenty of super talented dancers attending. I really wish I could make it down for the Congress in a week; unfortunately, I have gigs every weekend this month.

Speaking of talented dancers...I must say D.C. has it's share! (Hey Julie and Kim.) Over all the vibe was great, everyone seemed to have a good time and Earl seemed happy, so I'm hoping it won't be our last Stuck on Salsa event. They placed a lot of photos and some videos on the website so go check them out. http://www.stuckonsalsa.com/
