Beethoven is dancing Salsa! is a fun and colourful fantasy for band that plays the best Beethoven's songs arranged by Javier Pérez Garrido into South American music styles and rhythms. At every instant of time, we spect Beethoven to appear on the scene to join some dance choreographies performed by band members and to cheer some festive vocalizations. It includes 15 music themes by master Ludwig van (sometimes mixed) that were arranged by Pérez Garrido during 2013.
