About
Team Salsa Sextet brings its Salsa del Barrio concert to Balattou in Montreal on 28 November 2026. It is an evening of salsa rooted in Havana, with a detour through the Latino music of New York, and it suits visitors who want live Latin music in a club setting rather than a formal concert hall.
What to expect
- Lively percussion that sets the pace from the first number
- A driving brass section carrying the rhythm
- Room for improvisation and swing, so each performance has its own feel
- Songs that deal with exile, celebration and cultural resistance
The group's sound draws on the street rhythms of Havana, and the New York influence adds a different texture to the arrangements. The mix of celebration and reflection in the lyrics gives the evening more depth than a dance party alone.
The venue
Balattou is at 4372 Boul. Saint-Laurent, Montréal, QC H2W 1Z5, on one of the city's best-known streets for music and nightlife. Visitors can combine the concert with a wider evening exploring the Plateau and Mile End neighbourhoods nearby.
