In Search of Son Jarocho

What a musically satisfying summer this is turning out to be! In June I spent a little time in Veracruz, Mexico, where I soaked up the music and ate great food. Thanks to my friend Beto, I was lucky enough to take in some really joyful music-making. Check out our Colás medley...

What the Goose is up to this summer...

Our old friend Father Goose is starting up dance parties of his own this summer. Here are a little video footage of him and his band at Madison Square Park, NYC, singing Bam Bam from his latest album It's A Bam Bam Diddly!



For those of you in the NYC area, the Goose will be taking the party to Lincoln Center's Midsummer Night Swing this Saturday, July 19. Stay up to date on where else he'll be at fathergoose.net .

¡Baile!

It's been a while since any of us have posted... here's a glimpse of what we've been up to... We've been having a blast holding a few listening parties around the NYC, sharing the music from our new album Nueva York. Here we are behind the scenes before the listening party at Hue-Man Bookstore up in Harlem. Joaquin and I are warming up before the show, playing Compadre Pedro Juan:

And this is Sonia, Joaquin, Silvia, Bernardo, Colin, Elena, and I singing El Canario in the store as friends from the neighborhood danced and sang along. What an afternoon!
