A five-day festival featuring live music, food and dance from various Latin American countries starts tomorrow.

'Festival Latino' kicks off in the Rumbar at Latin Restaurant with a visit to Cuba on Friday.

The party continues with Fiesta Mexicano on Saturday, Brazilian Night on Sunday, Latin Dance Night on Tuesday, and a big Cinco de Mayo celebration on Wednesday.

The festival is a joint venture between Latin owner Philip Barnett and SalsaMania Productions.

Grammy Award winner Willy Torres and his NYC Salsa Project, who were the featured act during SalsaMania's November Mambo Nights, in 2009.

The group was well-received by music aficionados and dancers alike, Mr. Torres and his crew look forward to returning to Bermuda to wow audiences with their infectiously energetic rhythms.

In addition, Bermuda's own Randy Lambert and Keith Caisey will offer up their amazing talents on guitar and the congas.

"Sabor Dance School will present the dance portion of the event on Tuesday night, with Salsa, Cha Cha, Bachata, Argentine Tango and the Latin Hustle," explained Teresa Whitter of SalsaMania Productions.

"Every evening, Latin house deejays will keep the dance floor warm into the night with something for everyone - dancers, non-dancers, music lovers and dinner guests."

For every $20 spent, one can enter the draw for a host of sizzling prizes. The draw can also be entered by listening to SalsaMania's Latin Flavours on Magic 102.7 on May 1 between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. Winners must be present at Latin on May 5 between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m.
