Edgardo and Candela are celebrating their 40th Anniversary of being one of the greatest salsa bands in the Bay Area and we are proud to be a part of this special evening at the end of Thanksgiving weekend. Before the show we will be offering a dance lesson and we will also be debuting a new choreography, to be performed live with the band, to Edgardo’s original song Madre Rumba Padre Son.

The Freight is the perfect venue for a dance concert, with a great sound system and a beautiful open dance floor (purchase of a ticket does not guarantee a seat since the dance floor is open).

Before the show, RCR will offer a Dance Class from 6:10 to 6:55pm — live music starts at 7:00pm.

Please use discount code RUEDA5 to save $10 and support RCR — follow this link to get the discount. We recommend buying tickets in advance as the show may sell out.

Save the date — Labor Day Weekend, 2027!

From Friday, September 3rd to Monday, September 6th we’ll be celebrating 20 years of RCR with Dance Workshops, Dance Parties, a Mega Rueda, a Multi-City Dance Performance of “Más Viejo Que Ayer,” and more.
