La Última
This Year's Bamboleo
Yemaya's Verse has a great concert report from Havana on the revamped Bamboleo which "resembles the band of yore", which for me is just what the doctor ordered! They're supposed to tour Europe in March. Still no rumors on La Yuma but hope springs eternal.
In book news, I'm almost done with the second Pupy Pedroso book and will move on to Alain Pérez and Beyond Salsa Bass after that. Also on the bass front, Cherina Mastrotones is working on her second book on Feliciano Arango, who should be making it to Boston sometime this year, knock on wood. [Kevin Moore]

José Eladio Book Finally Released
"Labor of Love" is a term that I'm somewhat familiar with, but this amazing book had been a labor of love in progress well before my first trip to Cuba in 1999. Afro-Cuban Percussion Workbook is written by my first timba guru, Curtis Lanoue, about one of the greatest and least-publicized percussion masters of Cuba, José Eladio. It covers all the main folkloric and popular rhythms thoroughly and systematically. Here's the link.
