~by Dena Burroughs ORQUESTA CHARANGOA AT THE CINCO DE MAYO CELEBRATION IN PALMDALE - May 2008 To be honest, the music was much better than the attendance. The Marie Kerr Park was nice, the weather perfect, but the crowd was slow to come in. However, those present were entertained first by Orquesta Charangoa [http://www.charangoa.com ], then by the cumbia band Sonora Dinamita, followed by a "Dancing with Stars," Palmdale's own version of the TV show, in which members of the town's government trained with the instructors from AVSalsa [http://www.avsalsa.com ] to compete against each other. That was fun. The winner was Palmdale Councilman Steve Knight. He did pretty good!
