The Hispanic Heritage Weekend concludes at the Lansing Shuffle with Jazz Night with Orquesta Ritmo putting the finishing touches on a great weekend. DJ E-NYCE will provide sounds and it all takes place from 6:00pm to 8:00pm outside on the patio. Should rain occur, the evening moves inside as the Lansing Shuffle offers many different varieties of restaurants to choose from.
Orquesta Ritmo are well known for their Cuban style music. The troupe has traveled around the Mid-West and performed for venues all over Michigan and as far south as Dayton, Ohio. The group earned a number of accolades along the way including a Tribute from the Michigan State Legislature. In 1984, the group grew to its current 10-piece orchestra. Throughout the years, the group has shared the stage with a number of recording artists such as Los Lobos, Salsa great Oscar D’Leon, Pete Escovido, Wycliff Gordon at the E. Lansing Summer Solstice Jazz Festival, and The Bangles among others.
