Backstage Pass to Alive at Five welcomes a true salsa powerhouse: Edwin Ortiz y La Mafia del Guaguanco. Host Jade digs into the band's 40-year journey from the early D.C. salsa scene to their newest recordings crafted in Puerto Rico with legendary producer Isidro Infante. Hear the stories behind crowd-favorites like "La Salsa Dura," the fan-loved singles "Diferente a las demás" and "Pal Bailador," and the on-stage chemistry led by vocalist Vivian Mojica. We also celebrate Frederick's vibrant salsa community, past and present, and preview what to expect when the orchestra lights up the creek this Thursday, September 18.
