La Última
Somebody Slap Me
I'm starting to believe this is actually going to happen. I'll let you know when and if there are actual boots on the ground, but it's gotten as far as this cool site that counts down the days and hours:
Charanga Habanera in SF Countdown Site
Do I hear the distant rumblings of floodgates opening?
Of course, readers in Canada, Perú and Europe, must be rolling around laughing as they watch us poor yumas flailing around in agony and anticipation.
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.

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!
