Friday, June 25, 2004 - Concert Report
I saw Manolito y su Trabuco in Amsterdam last week and finally am able to file my concert report. In short the sound was good, the band was tight and the crowd was enjoying every minute, singing and dancing all night long.
Thursday, June 24, 2004 - Interview with Orestes Calderón
After the concert of Manolito y su trabuco in Amsterdam on June 17, 2004 I presented Orestes Calderón with his award from Timba.com for Best Timba Cellist. They were on a tight schedule but made time for me to ask a few questions. In addition to being a great musician, Orestes is a really nice person and was fascinating to talk to. I want to thank him for his patience with my poor Spanish.
The interview is up in MP3 format and as soon as we have time we'll get it transcribed and translated. Click here
Note: At the end of the interview you can hear El Indio come into the room. He didn't know we were recording.
