What to expect from the LULA LOUNGE experience....
 
The Lula Lounge Salsa Dance Party is a three course dinner, a latin dance class and a live salsa band rolled into the ultimate tropical experience.
 
The evening begins after 7pm when we usher you into a world where old Havana meets Rio de Janiero.

Overlooking our red dancefloor, we invite you to sip a cuba libra or mojito, and peruse our selection of wines, carefully chosen to pair with Lula's unique menu

Order from our 'Tropical Fusion' dinner menu for your choice of executive Chef Derek Crinsons mouthwatering blend of Mediterranean, Caribbean and Latin-American cuisine.

At 9pm, our dance instructor Ana Machado gets you on your feet for that salsa lesson you always wanted to take. It's fun, it's easy and it gets you ready for the hot rhythms to come.

At 10pm DJ Fab warms up the room and sets the stage for the hottest live salsa music this side of Havana!!!

ABOUT RICKY FRANCO

- Dynamic frontman Ricky Franco brings his powerhouse P-Crew Orchestra for a night of hardcore salsa with an R&B edge - Lula Lounge Promo

Born and raised in Toronto, Ricky Franco started his musical career at the surprisingly young age of five, under the wing of his father, and founder of Toronto's pioneer mariachi "Grupo Azteca", Ramon Franco.

Having worked alongside some of the world's top Latin talent (Ricardo Arjona, Aventura, Huey Dunbar, Tito Nieves, La India), Ricky has seen his travels go from vibrant places like New York, Miami and Puerto Rico, to exotic places around the world like the United Arab Emirates.

Ricky Franco's Bachata hit song "Mi Todo" went #1 in DJ pools and radio stations all over the east coast, many parts of Latin America and the Caribbean. This multi-instrumentalist comes with his powerful 12-piece "P-Crew Orchestra" that blends a mixture of vibes, ranging from powerful Salsa Descargas with an R&B/Soulful edge, to the newest ever popular rhythms of Bachata. A definate first within the walls of Lula! It features some of the city's best musicians around, who create a pulsating array of arrangements to please both the listener and the dance fanatic. As a recent addition to Canada's Latin roster, Ricky Franco delivers slick and powerful vocals to his performances that leave the crowds in awe!
The P-CREW is Ricky Franco's 12 piece Urban Salsa Orchestra, featuring some of Toronto's best and most talented musicians, who together create a pulsating array of arrangements that please both the listener and the dance fanatic.
