The DC Congress is proud to have Genier Bruno as the Master of Music for the 2007 Congress. Known as “El Unico” has been a fixture in the Washington DC salsa scene since 1996. Born in El Barrio, NYC and raised in the Boogie-Down Bronx, Bruno carries the pulse and vibrant rhythm of his music in his veins. Originally a performance poet Bruno has been present at some of the greatest salsa performances and has seen in persons some of the legendary salseros such as Tito Puente, Tito Rodriguez, Machito, Ismael Rivera, Ismael Miranda, Willie Colon, Hector LaVoe, Eddie Palmieri, Manny Oquendo, Andy Montanez, Pellin Rodriguez, Willie Rosario, Roberto Roena, Santiago Cerron, Ray Barretto, Bobby Valentin, etc, etc. Bruno plays the music that identifies him and every other salsero/salsera with the island of Puerto Rico. He plays for the dancer, the listener, the connoisseur, and everybody that loves this vibrant music that the gods and orishas have bestowed upon us as spiritual nourishment through dance. Washington DC has a selection of DJs that all have their individual styles and following. We are proud to feature a lineup across the board, from uptempo Salsa to classic Mambo. We strive to provide a balance of music that appeals to all dancers, and we know that you will enjoy being on the dance floor all night long. We will be featuring International DJ Samurai, who rocked the hosue at the 2006 DC Congress and we are excited to have returning. DJ Emily 'La Taina' will also be spinning at the congress, for the 3rd year in a row, as well. This will be the first year for DJ Jon 'Vino' Trevino, who has been playing from a collection of music that keeps people inspired to dance all night long. We are proud to also have DJ Mike 'El Sonero', who played in 2005 and is looking forward to rocking the floor again on Sunday night. All DJ's will be spinning a selection of Salsa, Cha-Cha-Cha, Mambo, and even a little Bachata.
