In response to his girlfriend's loathing of late-night Latin rhythms, John Winger (as played by Bill Murray) in Stripes offers these wise words: “Tito Puente’s gonna be dead, and you're gonna say, ‘Oh, I’ve been listening to him for years — he’s fabulous!’”

The folks at AZSalsa.net keep the boogaloo alive during their second annual AZSalsa Festival. The slammin’ pachanga brings Johnny Polanco y su Conjunto Amistad from L.A. to provide the live salsa dura.
