DJ Sacha

DJSacha_Promo_Pic_smaller.jpg DJ Sacha is the new kid on the block of the UK's local Cuban salsa DJs. His musical education started in France at an early age with piano, clarinet, saxophone and singing, all dropped when joining university in Paris and when the patience of suburban rehearsals was quickly overtaken by the urge to roam the wide wild world of the French capital's live concerts and second hand CD shops. His passion to discover all forms of musical cultures and their connection to people's lives was further deepened when travelling around the world in 2002 and 2003. A sudden encounter with a Manolito tune in 2004 marked the promised land: the sheer energy, musical completeness and fascinating traditions of Cuban salsa and Timba took the pole position of his eclectic musical charts.

DJSacha_and_Leandro.jpgAfter moving to the UK in 2007, and through an ongoing collaboration with Leandro Charanga, DJ Sacha has revived, developed and promoted the Cuban salsa scene in the region of Cambridge, and is helping with a number of Cuban salsa projects in East Anglia. More information is available through his Cuban salsa information website: www.CambridgeCubanSalsa.co.uk. DJ Sacha's musical favours go to energetic tracks with a strong tumbao or melodic coros that will gladden your heart and ears, to form a balanced mix of ageless favourites and bleeding edge hits which will sustain your dancing energy until the end of the night.

DJ Sacha is available on demand for salsa services including DJing, Cuban salsa and Bachata classes, hen parties and wedding animations, musical workshops, salsa demos and artist bookings. Please use this contact form to get more information.

CUBAN ESSENCE workshop in CAMBRIDGE with SUSAN HACKING

CAMBRIDGE CUBAN SALSA has the immense pleasure of welcoming SUSAN HACKING in CAMBRIDGE for a special workshop entitled: CUBAN ESSENCE, on Saturday, June 6th, 2009.

Have you ever wondered what makes the Cuban style of salsa so unique and so special? After all, "it's all salsa", isn't it?

To answer that question in the most delightful way, we are very lucky to receive SUSAN HACKING in Cambridge for a special workshop entitled "CUBAN ESSENCE".

You have probably met Susan in many of the great Cuban salsa congresses of the UK, or regularly at the Buffalo Bar or other Salsa Caribe venues in London. If so, then you have certainly been charmed by the combination of deep understanding of the Cuban movements, spotless pedagogy and uplifting feelings which characterise her classes.

During the workshop, she will illustrate the uniqueness and variety of the Cuban style through its characteristic body movements, some of them connected with Son and Rumba. This promises to be a mind and body opening experience for both male and female salsa dancers.

This workshop follows the two very successful first editions, "Casino workshop" with Richard Fallon in April, and "Son workshop" with Juan Carlos Pacheco in May, which have seen many dancers returning enchanted of their participation. Don't miss out on that one!

  • 16:30 - 18:30 : "Cuban Essence" workshop with Susan,
