"Lady Salsa is an energetic and graciously informal tour of the Caribbean country's vibrant and volatile history... The artists are marvellously versatile, with musicians switching easily between diverse Latin rhythms, played on bongos, bass and Spanish guitar, trumpet and keyboard. The dancers, in lighting costume changes, rip through the sweeping moves of the mambo, the light-footed Cha-cha-cha and the showgirls, in their gilded headresses, enact the casino invasion by Che Guevara and Fidel Castro's peasant army, which toppled the Batista regime. The freedom struggle is the thread that binds the narrative but the emphasis is on exhilaration rather than sentimentality." The London Evening Standard 2000

"'Where there is hardship there is always music,' remarks the white-suited compere of Lady Salsa. And dance, he might have added, given that he's talking about Cuba. The beautiful but beleaguered Caribbean island has given us salsa, mambo, chachachá and their root rhythms, rumba and son. Hearing such sounds, it's virtually impossible not to surrender to movement. That's certainly the case with this thoroughly engaging entertainment." The Times 2000
