Introducing TIMBA:
When you hear someone talk about Cuban salsa, they’re most probably talking about the uniquely Cuban musical form called ‘timba.’ Timba has a similar rhythm to salsa, you can dance your favorite salsa steps to the music and it is often classified as a sub-genre of salsa.

Timba is a musically complicated genre. It is characterized by frequent breaks, changes from major to minor keys, often very complex rhythms, an expanded instrumental set and aggressive percussion. Timba is rich in both rhythm, form and lyrics.

By 1990, several bands had incorporated elements of funk and hip-hop into their arrangements, and expanded upon the instrumentation of the traditional conjunto with American drum set, saxophones and a two-keyboard format. Along with the Cuban congas and timbales, the drum set provided powerful funk and rock beats that added more punch to the rhythm section, and the bass players began to incorporate the playing techniques associated with funk, slapping and pulling the strings in a percussive way. The combination of the trumpets and the saxes gave the horn section a more jazz-tinged sound, and the harmony began to evolve on a more contemporary level (as it already had in salsa music). Singers would interrupt the song and engage the audience in a participatory shout-out while the music changed its texture, providing a musical “breakdown” reminiscent of the James Brown era in American soul and funk.

Pioneers of TIMBA include:
LOS VAN VAN, NG La Banda, BAMBOLEO
IRAKERE (precursor band to modern Timba)
and the Descarga Sound System

NextAid and Solar Sister Present ILLUMINATE
A Benefit for Economic Empowerment for Girls’ and Women in Africa onSeptember 18, 2011 from 5pm – 1am at YOTEL New York City
Who says you can’t have fun while doing good?  Not us!  On behalf of the resilient energy of girls and women, we intend to dance and sing our empowerment!
New York, NY – On September 18^th, 2011, NextAid and Solar Sister are pulling together resources, putting on their dancing shoes, and raising voices to propel awareness about the power in providing girls and women greater economic opportunity. Recognizing this is a global issue – these organizations are taking a daring leap to host two ‘Sister’ events to reach out to the global community!
On September 18, 2011 Illuminate will light up the night at New York City’s ground-breaking Yotel to kick off one of the most important weeks in global action meetings: the Clinton Global Initiative, the United Nations General Assembly, White Ribbon Alliance’s Women Inspiration and Enterprise Symposium, and Mashable’s Social Good Summit. 
Through the energy of music and dance, and the environmental pursuit of solar power solutions in transforming the accessibility and opportunities for communities worldwide, NextAid and Solar Sister’s Illuminate is bringing together renowned DJs, including Anane’ Vega, Nickodemus, DJ OBaH, and Mr. V to tap fire up the night. In partnership with Giant Step, Nokero, White Ribbon Alliance, flavorpill, and fusicology and with special guests to be announced, Illuminate will give the next generation of social venture leaders a platform to express their devotion in developing creative solutions that empower communities to tap their greatest potential. In honor of girls and women worldwide, and the power of solar energy, Illuminate will host an environment where the earnest and hardworking interns, social change innovators and social enterprise stars can have the chance to mix, mingle, do good, and DANCE!  
Illuminate takes place at Yotel Club Lounge at 570 Tenth Avenue, New York, NY 10036. Tickets are available at http://illuminate-nyc.eventbrite.com.
Then in November 2011 NextAid and Solar Sister are taking Illuminate global linking up with the power of the electronic music and dance scene in Kampala, Uganda. Illuminate will cross-connect an awareness-raising message of girls’ and women’s economic empowerment to the next generation of rising leaders. Working with local artists, musicians, and DJs Illuminate will bring together community mobilizers and social innovators in an event that elevates and connects the stage for Uganda’s community of change makers to tap into the global community.
Illuminate NYC and Kampala will present a unique opportunity for networking and messaging from NextAid and Solar Sister that propels the importance of giving girls and women the opportunity to improve their lives through accessible health-care, educational pursuits, and their entrepreneurial energies. Working together, these leading voices in women’s empowerment send a message that it is up to ALL of us to create the change we want to see in the world.  And that means reaching beyond the usual suspects of policy wonks and social do-gooders.  If the world is going to change, we have to reach a new audience, a younger audience with energy to take these messages to their extended social networks. We have to break through to them on a channel that they will turn on to.  Hosting a dance party for good is a light-hearted, but serious minded, way of connecting for good.
NextAid:
