For over nineteen years, the Texas Salsa Congress (TSC) has been a driving force in fostering partnerships and organizing public events throughout Houston and its neighboring communities. Passionate about cross-disciplinary engagement, the Texas Salsa Congress thrives on collaboration with diverse artistic genres, extending far beyond the local Latin dance community.
Our partnerships span various art forms, including visual arts showcased through exhibitions and mural tours, spoken word performances, and musical showcases featuring local salsa, mariachi, and Latin bands from high schools and universities. While we have proudly brought national and regional talent to Houston, our primary focus remains on supporting and amplifying local talent. The majority of TSC events prioritize the hiring and revenue opportunities for local bands, DJs, dancers, performers, and photographers. Through these efforts, we strive to continually nurture, grow, and showcase the rich diversity of dance, music, and artistic talent within our community.
Throughout our history up to 2024, the Texas Salsa Congress has been a beacon for top-tier salsa, Latin music, and dance. Drawing attendees from across Texas and the United States, the Congress consistently features performances by renowned artists. Among them are the FANIA All-Stars like Joe Bataan, Adalberto Santiago, and Roberto Roena, as well as Latin music luminaries such as Tito Puente Jr., Grammy Award winner Marlow Rosado, Alfredo de la Fe, and many others.
