Free salsa lessons are led by MetaMovements

Angel Rodriguez (aka Miguel Ángel) was born in the Dominican Republic and grew up in Puerto Rico, Miami, and Boston.

At 17, he started playing percussion and at 20, he started singing. In 1983 he performed with the La Gran Manzana Orchestra in New York and later with the famous salsa singer José Alberto El Canario. Later, he moved to Boston where he formed his first band— Miguel Ángel y la Orquesta de él la Selección, in 1986. In 1990 he traveled with his band to different states, including New York, Connecticut, Florida, and California. He has also accompanied Oscar de León, Andy Montañez, Conjunto Classico, and Franklin Ruiz.

In recent years, he had the great opportunity to play with the well-known trumpeter Carlos de Leon. Currently, his band, La Selección, plays several times a month at La Fabrica Central in Cambridge and many other establishments in New England.

DORCHESTER WEATHER: a play about climate and change

DORCHESTER WEATHER is an original play about climate and change, led by Dorchester resident, Boston Artist in Residence, and theater artist Jaronzie Harris

June 30, 2023
2023-06-30T18:30:00 - 2023-06-30T21:00:00

DORCHESTER WEATHER is an original play about climate and change, led by Dorchester resident, theater artist and educator Jaronzie Harris. It is the culmination of a year-long process that engages Dorchester residents in an exploration of environmental issues that are disproportionately impacting their community.

DORCHESTER WEATHER showcases community members coming together to tell a story that raises questions at the intersection of environmental justice, neighborhood development, and social resilience. The script came to life through dialogue, workshops, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

DORCHESTER WEATHER is a product of the Mayor's Office of Arts and Culture Boston Artist in Residence program in partnership with Kathleen Hart of the City of Boston Environment Department.

There will be food, music, and interactive activities. Come share your thoughts and ideas, as we dive deep into the implications of climate change for Dorchester.

See you at the show!
