Come enjoy an evening of extraordinary musical talent at the first annual Jam of the Andes featuring the Manabí Salsa Band. This fundraiser will support Engineers Without Borders (EWB) volunteers, allowing us to expand erosion control and cloud forest restoration work in the Andes of Ecuador in partnership with the local Quechua communities. A 12-piece salsa band, a colorful presentation on conservation efforts in a remote mountain village in Ecuador, and free beer will make for a wonderful evening!

EWB-Denver’s seven year investment with the Quechua communities of Malingua Pamba have helped to develop reliable irrigation and potable water supplies, control rampant erosion and much more!

SUGGESTED DONATION AT DOOR: $30 for a night of live salsa music and 1 free beer. $20 for students.
