FRONT PAGE - PRIMERA PLANA
Charanga Habanera in SF - Dec. 22
I've been bitten by Charanga rumors before, but it looks the visas have come through, and, if so, the indefatigable Shabi has managed to get them to extend to tour to the West Coast. No ticket links yet, but the venue is Café Cócomo. Stay tuned! The last gig CH played in the US was this one in Dec. 2000, exactly 9 years ago.
Check back or check Cócomo's site for updates. There's a plan to add a second show the next night if the first one sells out.

The first gallery is from the extremely educational rehearsal sessions, where the differences between the Cuban and American approaches was quite apparent.
Tom's Danny Lozada Photos, Pt. 2
Moving on the the concert itself, click here for the gallery. Danny had the huge crowd dancing in perfect synchronicity.
At one point, Danny mentioned the idea of a reunion tour with Sombrilla, Juan Carlos González and Michel Maza. That would be quite a feat!

Septeto Nacional, the premier Cuban son band in the world today, performed at Yoshi's San Francisco to sold out crowds from November 23, 2009 thru November 26, 2009. This current US tour of Septeto, which included performances in New York City, Miami and San Francisco was the first time since 1933 that they performed in the US.
