The Cubans Are Coming!

After several years of musical drought, I'm looking forward to the array of musical acts coming through the US. Already saw Carlos Varela this year - amazing show. Even the concert in Miami was a success (read this excellent review in the Miami Herald).

Disappointed that Los Van Van were canceled, but at least Pupy y Los Que Son Son are scheduled to cover some of those dates. The biggest news is Silvio Rodriguez, performing in the US for the first time in over three decades. He'll be at the Paramount Theater in Oakland on June 11th - can't miss this one!

Spoke to Maestro Chucho Valdés following his Grammy win earlier this year - he mentioned some fall dates here in the Bay Area TBA. Here's a beautiful video of Chucho with father Bebo from their Grammy-winning Juntos Para Siempre album, performing "Tres Palabras."
