The Mayor’s 801 Plum Concerts provide a unique opportunity to hear music in the urban mainstay of downtown Cincinnati: City Hall’s Council chambers. A fresh alternative to the standard local fare, young audiences ages 21-40 can indulge in an eclectic infusion of classical, jazz, percussion, Latin and hip-hop music performed by dynamic, diverse, and world-renowned musicians.
Local celebrities serve as emcee for each concert, setting the tone for a relaxed and interactive “Chill & Chat” session between the musicians and the audience in this intimate and unusual 300-seat performance venue.
Happy Birthday to Rob!! And Happy Wedding to Jessica!
It was another great Salsa night @ Mad Frog, with people enjoying the awesome dance floor and Non-Smoking room!
Pictures from this week's Salsa with Tropicoso @ Cincinnati's hottest Latino spot - "The Mad Frog", are on the Web in the Cincinnati section of our Photo Gallery (click here).
Each Monday, Mad Frog has its basement open - with the best in Reggaeton and Hip-hop. It's like having two clubs in one: live Salsa/Merenge upstairs with Tropicoso, and Reggaeton and Hip-hop downstairs!

Several Cincinnati organizations that signed a request to WLW 700 Radio Station for an immidiate removal of the "Big Juan" ads (to see the press release click here), finding it insensitive and offending to the Latino/Hispanic community, held on Tue.
