May 30, 2011 – The last night of the 2011 Los Angeles Salsa Congress saw several tropical music artists on stage.  Group Xtreme performed their bachata, a Dominican rhythm very much in demand these days within the Salsa dancing community.  Venezuelan singer Yurelkis likewise performed a few songs.  The evening, as well as this year’s 3-day event, culminated at 4 am with local Salsa band Johnny Polanco y su Conjunto Amistad and Puerto Rican singer Choco Orta as a guest artist.
