Since then the group has gone through many changes in regards to musicians, singers and the style of salsa they’ve produced. In spite of all these changes, Grupo Niche has remained true to the vision of the groups creator, Jairo Varela, who’s concept was to create a Colombian salsa band that created music that was not only danceable, but that also stayed true to the spirit of salsa, the Colombian community and the Latin community at large.

The evening promises to be one filled with much happiness and dancing, a great party. Doors open at 9pm to the sounds of DJ Carlitos and DJ Victor Explosivo.
