We’re excited to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Mikata with a special Friday night performance! Join us for this one-night only event in place of our regular Trova y Salsa Sunday series this summer. Salsa Sundays will be back in September!
Mikata has been delighting audiences around the USA, in Canada and abroad for the past four decades. From their earliest days as a street-hardened group of percussionists, to star billing at SOBs, as one of NYC’s hottest World Beat bands, Mikata ultimately evolved into their current incarnation: a hard-hitting ten-piece Salsa band renowned for their contemporary arrangements of the great classics of Mambo and Salsa from the1950’s, 60’s and 70’s. This was the era when the dynamic, percussive quality of Latin music reigned supreme and Mikata brilliantly brings this element to the fore in its virtuoso performances.
Recipient of the New Haven Arts Council Award for “outstanding contribution to the cultural life of the community,” and the HPN Latin Music Achievement Award, Mikata has performed at clubs in New York City, (S.O.B.’s, Heart Break, Danceteria, Pyramid Club), at colleges and universities around the country, and at concerts and festivals in the US, Canada and Japan.
This festivities will feature two sets of Salsa dura, videos from Mikata’s early days, and an appearance by DJs from WPKN.
Park City Music Hall has a full bar and kitchen available on-site serving craft cocktails, delicious bites and more! Come hungry! The kitchen opens at doors and remains open until you see the "Kitchen Open" light go off.
