Bostonist made it to Mozart Park in Jamaica Plain last night in time to catch the second set by Orquesta Bacharengue, the fusion ensemble headed by Berklee faculty member Ricardo Monzón.
The group fuses the Domincan styles of bachata and merengue for a unique, polyrhythmic dance music surgically designed to shake booties. The concert was part of Berklee's Tito Puente Latin Music Series, which continues next week in the South End's O'Day Park.
Also on hand were volunteers from the Hyde Park Task Force, who were offering folks everything from voter registration forms to applications to model clothes at the group's annual fashion show.
