Enoch López ( born in Zaragoza, Spain),took
his first steps in latin-dance in 1998,
taking classes with the best national and
international teachers at that moment.
Little time after, he started to work as a
teacher and to compete, getting several
local and national awards. His concept of
latin dance and salsa changed when he learnt
the New York style. It made such an impact
in his way of feeling salsa, that he decided
to go to New York and take classes for
several months with some of the greatest
salsa masters like Frankie Martínez or Eddie
Torres, among others. Yoana Merino entered
into the dance arena at the age of 10,
taking very different types of dancing: Jazz,
Spanish classic, Flamenco, Hip Hope,
Sevillanas, ballroom and of course, salsa
and other latin dance. In 1999 she opens
with her mother a dance school in San
Sebastian which is being acknowledged and
getting much success in her city. Enoch and
Yoana met in 2005 and decided to create YE
mambo, a project based in the New York Style.
Although this style was not very well known
in Spain, they´ve had a great success in
very little time, becoming one of the most
popular couples within Spanish Salsa world.
The mixture of expression, strength and
flavor in their choreographies, as well as
their good technique on stage and
professionalism when teaching workshops,
have enchanted Spanish audience. It´s in
2007, after having performed in the most
important Salsa Symposiums in Spain (MadridInternational
Symposium, Murcia International Meeting,
Spain Salsa Festival in Barcelona, Galicia
Salsagoza Salsorro, , etc) when YE mambo
stars to perform abroad in countries like
Germany (Salsa gala in Frieburg),Greece (Athens),
France (París Mambo festival), Portugal (Lisboa
internacional Salsa Congress), England (Uk
Salsa Congess), and Los Angeles Salsa
Congress in 2009.
