We are the Hartt Salsa All-Stars, the first ensemble from the University of Hartford to be devoted exclusively to New York-style salsa music. Nino Ciampa, 20-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. We have performed all over Connecticut including New Haven, Hartford, Meriden, Bloomfield, Willimantic, and Coventry, as well as Providence, RI and Acton, MA. We have also given various performances on our UHart campus. We are eager to play more around the greater Hartford area sharing our danceable rhythms and infectious energy with the community.
