La Clave del Barrio fundraiser Saturday at Indy Convergence
INDIANAPOLIS — La Clave del Barrio, a celebration of Afro-Cuban culture and fundraiser for a special futsal project in Havana, goes down Saturday at Indy Convergence at 2611 West Michigan Street. The party starts at 7 p.m., with salsa lessons set for 7:30 and the show, consisting of dance and musical acts, beginning at 8:30.
“Experience the Afro-Cuban musical and dance stylings of Sancocho, DJ Kyle Long on the 1s and 2s along with Pavel Polanco-Safadit closing out the evening with his lively brand of salsa,” said event organizer Guy-Jo Gordon. “Proceeds will fund the construction of two futsal courts in Havana, Cuba.”
Tickets are $25 in advance online and can be purchased here through Eventbrite. Tickets are $30 at the door.
Authentic Cuban cuisine and Cuba Libres — rum and coke with a splash of lime — will be available, as will wine and local beer offerings.
The seeds of the Havana futsal court project were first planted back in May 2018, when Indiana Futsal visited the city in partnership with Artecorte, La Liga en Cuba and the Peace Learning Center to host Havana’s first-ever city futsal tournament.
