**************
I'm not sure what star alignment is responsible for this, but two Triangle salsa bands will go head to head in Fayetteville this Friday (2/4) night:
Orquesta GarDel, entering phase 2 of its CD release party at The Speakeasy:
vs.
Tropic Orchestra, billed as Ricardo Diquez y su Orquesta Tropical, at Congo's Latin Club:
Ricardo Diquez says Tropic's lineup is largely unchanged, with Ramon "Chino" Casiano on congas/backing vocals and Jonah Vincent on second trumpet for this gig.
Congo's announces a cash-prize Salsa Contest on Facebook.
The Speakeasy is a "cigar bar," but also/and (?) a "nightclub"--no word on whether the smoker-friendly bar is physically separated from the dancefloor.
See calendar (right sidebar) for details.

Well, Congos is $5 ladies and $10 gentleman, while in Speakeasy is $20 each one
Speakeasy tickets are now $10 at the door. The venue has lots of dance space and is smoke-free.
Speakeasy needed to lower the price because nobody wanted to pay a high price for a local band. Funny part they wait until today to lower it because they didn't sold enough tickets in advance. Well Congo's still better because we ladies are only $5 and I want to get that money prize in the contest.
Slightly rephrasing: Conga's has not advertised a specific cash amount for any prizes; their website has not been updated since July 2010. I can't verify therefore that any cash prizes in any amount are going to be delivered.
Personally, I find dance contests boring and wouldn't pay $5 to see one.
