#1 Salsa DJ
Spins Salsa For Your Soul
Born in New York City’s ‘Spanish Harlem’ and of Puerto
Rican descent, Henry's love for the music that makes his blood flow
was born during the family parties in New York City and afternoon rains
of his childhood summers in Puerto Rico. On this tropical island, and
in New York City is where he found his soul—and learned to dance
Salsa. A dancer, practically all his life—"My heart beats
on clave" —he is known to hold his own and understands how
to honor and inspire a Salsero on the dance floor.
Henry has performed as a disc jockey, master of ceremonies, sound engineer,
video jockey and promoter in major nightclubs and venues around the
world throughout his career span.
DJ Henry Knowles' career nearly translates into Salsa evangelism as
he spreads the beat and his love for Salsa rhythms on a global scale.
His extensive travels include appearances in over 30 countries and
100 cities throughout the USA, Canada, Caribbean, Europe Mediterranean,
Mexico, Central and South America — even Asia.
He believes his travels are also an opportunity to share his skills,
talents and experience with aspiring disc jockeys. Admired as the "DJs
DJ," Henry often holds workshops wherever he happens to be, sharing
with his comrades how he works the floor and the latest and most effective
mixing techniques.
For over three years, Henry Knowles has hosted “Simply Salsa
Mondays” at El Flamingo, currently recognized as New York City’s
hottest Salsa dance party. Live music is featured every Monday. Some
acts recently featured include names such as: Johnny Pacheco, Spanish
Harlem Orch. with Ruben Blades, Larry Harlow, Azuquita, Johnny Colon

live music present in NYC and to introduce the music to the Salsa dancers…especially
the newcomers.
