Havana D'Primera viene a sofocarte
Concert Report - Stockholm March 25, 2010
I know it has been more than 1 month since the concert and I have to apologize for my tardiness, but better late than never. I have finally posted my report from the Havana D'Primera concert in Stockholm March 25th. As could be expected the concert hall was full with a mix of world music fans, timberos and salseros. There were representatives from all the local timba bands as well as dancers such as Chiqui Dixon. I met three Colombians who were visiting from Rome and came to the concert as well as a woman from Puerto Rico. I suspect she didn't come all the way to Sweden just to see Havana D'Primera, but you never know...Click here to read the report including 3 video clips from the concert.

Manolito in Da House!
Photo courtsey of Cristian Muñoz
Great news from, Miami. Manolito y Su Trabuco have arrived in the US. With all the changes to the concert schedule I only know of 3 concerts. The first two are May 7 & 8 in LA and San Francisco, respectively and the third is May 14 in Miami. I hope they set up a few more because the people of the United States have a right to More Trabuco! If you know about any concert that is missing from out list please send me an e-mail.
Update: Make that 4 concerts. I found one for May 20th at SOBs. But according to Mirco's information at TimbaPorSiempre, Manolito said that they will be playing in 14 states, so we must be missing a lot of dates!

Silvio Rodríguez to play Carnegie Hall in New York
Show scheduled for Friday, June 4 2010
A leader of the "nueva trova" movement, Cuban folk singer Silvio Rodríguez Domínguez will perform at the Stern Auditorium (Perelman Stage) in Carnegie Hall in New York City on Friday, June 4, 2010 at 8 PM.
He is considered Cuba's best known folk artist and known for his highly eloquent and symbolic lyrics. Many of his songs have become classics in Latin American music, such as Ojalá (video here), Playa Girón, Unicornio and La maza. His lyrics are notably introspective. His songs combine romanticism, love (even eroticism), revolutionary politics, and idealism. He has released nearly 20 albums. --source: wikipedia
Presentado por Fuego Entertainment en colaboración con CBDG. For tickets go to www.carnegiehall.org or call 212-247-7800.
