Best Traditional New Mexican Band

1. Al Hurricane

Best Salsa Band

1. Son Como Son

In your best anything we forgot section you name Calle 66 best Salsa band. According to who? There is a reason why Son Como Son draws the best crowds at the Cooperage, home to live Salsa every weekend for over a decade now or why they draw the best crowds for the NM Jazz Workshops summer series Salsa Under the Stars at the Albuquerque Museum amphitheater every Friday night during the summer or why they are invited to perform alongside some of the best musicians in the world in any genre up at the Telluride Jazz festival every year or why they were given a second place in your Best Latin/Traditional New Mexican Band which Son Como Son is neither. They play Salsa Cuban style and they are one of the best bands in Albuquerque period. Book them to play one of your Crawls and watch them Rock as hard as the usual suspects you have at those events. Here is some advice to the Alibi from someone who has been involved in the Salsa community from the time I stepped off the plane that brought me here to Burque from the South Bronx in 1982, do your research and go see this great band.
