The Hartt Salsa All-Stars are the first ensemble from the University of Hartford to be devoted exclusively to New York-style salsa music. Nino Ciampa, 19-year-old Boston native of Italian and Cuban descent, serves as the group’s bandleader and arranger who also sings and plays percussion for the group. They have performed various times on campus as well as in Willimantic and Coventry. They have played gigs as a salsa septet, a full 20+ piece big band, and everything in between.
