Tromboranga Salsa Orchestra, a Latin jazz band who are currently on an Asia-wide tour, will play a one-off concert at Taipei’s Neo Studio on Aug. 27.
Tromboranga, formed in 2011 in Barcelona, are part of a new generation of independent Latin orchestras who play salso dura, a style of salsa that burst onto the scene in the 1970s, emphasizing instrumentals over vocals.

Common sense is not that common: a recent study from the University of Pennsylvania concludes the concept is “somewhat illusory.” Researchers collected statements from various sources that had been described as “common sense” and put them to test subjects. The mixed bag of results suggested there was “little evidence that more than a small fraction of beliefs is common to more than a small fraction of people.” It’s no surprise that there are few universally shared notions of what stands to reason. People took a horse worming drug to cure COVID! They think low-traffic neighborhoods are a communist plot and call
The sprawling port city of Kaohsiung seldom wins plaudits for its beauty or architectural history. That said, like any other metropolis of its size, it does have a number of strange or striking buildings. This article describes a few such curiosities, all but one of which I stumbled across by accident.
