There’s more to the Caribbean than sexy pirates -– its sensual musical rhythms are just as high-volume and action-packed. Yo ho ho and a bottle of wine! Yes, I’m talking about Latin Jazz Night at the Hollywood Bowl. Wednesday’s lineup was a comfortably mixed collection of the old and mostly familiar, the typical formula intended to please the broad-sweeping tastes of regular Bowl-ers. Still, this triple-header had a lot to offer musically. The legendary and larger-than-life (though small in stature) Cuban bassist Cachao kicked off the evening with his famous jam/descarga (como mi ritmo no hay dos). Accompanying the charming 80-something musician was an assemblage of youthful (in comparison) musicians, most of whom recorded on his last Grammy award-winning CD, Ahora Sí, including Jimmy Bosch, who will perform a salsa interpretation of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons with the LA Phil in late August.

If you're looking to get away from the weekend's heat weather-wise, you might want to consider heading up the 101 a spell to take in a different kind of heat at the 12th annual Oxnard Salsa Festival, which takes place this Saturday and Sunday. This event promises fun free entertainment, such as Salsa and Latin Jazz musical performances, and offers a marketplace full of crafts, retail items, and gourmet food. The highlight, however, should be in the flavorful tasting area, where for $3 you get a bag of tortilla chips and ten tasting tickets, and the freedom to let your tastebuds roam the tent, scooping up tastes of all kinds of salsa, from the super spicy to the savory or sweet. Admission to the festival is free, and the hot fun happens at the intersection of Fifth & “A” Streets, with free parking available throughout the downtown area.
