RICHARDSON,
Texas (Aug. 18, 2003) – The University of Texas at Dallas’ 2003-2004
arts season will open with a Latin flair on Friday,
Sept. 5, at 8 p.m. with a performance by the Norma Zenteno Band in the
University Theatre.
Zenteno, proclaimed
“Houston’s Salsa Queen” by the Houston media, is a fourth-generation
performing artist, and she draws a regional following
that cuts across ethnic and generational divisions. Her song-writing
and her musical style have developed into a unique blend of Latin Jazz
with a Salsa/Rock twist. A performance by Zenteno sways audiences through
smooth romantic jazz ballads and energizes them with salsa beats. For
