No excuses LA
If you call Los Angeles, Califas your home then you absolutely must make it out to the California Plaza in downtown at noon or at 8pm this Friday, August 14th to catch Totó La Momposina LIVE for FREE. This event is brought to you by Grand Performances. Check out their site for more info...
Also, I am going to go check out Quantic and his Combo Bárbaro at the Echoplex on Saturday the 15th. Should be a dope show... for all things Quantic, check out his site.
Oh and I almost forgot... The LA Salsa Music Festival at the Greek Theatre on August 22nd. Don't miss it... every year so far its been pretty sick. This year the headliner is El Gran Combo.
Get more info and buy tickets here.
Lots of good music, right in LA. Don't sleep!

Jamón y Queso
A new look plus new music! Finally!
What's up mi gente... I know your starving for some arepafunk. Tranquilos... I got you.
First off - Caminito Serrano by Jaime Llano Gonzalez. Afrosound has a really dope version of this song too. This one reminds me of Chicha which is a cool, psychadelic cumbia sounding music from Peru. Check out Chicha Libre, a Brooklyn-based band thats got an awesome sound.
Mambo en España by Orquesta Riverside is one I have been saving for a special occasion. This is some good music that will never grow old. I know you'll love it.
I end the set with the Fania All Stars playing El Raton. In the liner notes there's a clip from the New York Post that sums up all the excitement from the night that this song(among others) was recorded live at Yankee Stadium. It's nuts.... Just to give you an idea of how crazy this show must have been... Mongo Santamaria, Tipica '73, and El Gran Combo warmed up the crowd....
En serio? For real? Arr ju kidin me? Just picture that, all those guys are opening up the show, then you got the Fania All Stars showing up with Manu Dibango and Jorge Santana. Holy chit, its no wonder 40,000 fans rushed the stage and the show had to end early.
Yankee Stadium, August 24th, 1973. Wow
Here's a video of El Raton being performed live in Zaire. Enjoy.
Alright, be good. Peace!

Arepa con Queso
Yo! I've been really bad at keep this blog and the podcast up-to-date on a weekly basis. I apologize to all of you that visit weekly. I should be back on track now.
The good news is I did some record hunting and picked up some great stuff while I was in San Francisco this past weekend. I look forward to showing off some of these great finds in the coming weeks.
Arepa con Queso is a set I put together right before I left for my little vacation to Sacramento/SF. It is made up of all Colombian music. The last four songs were written by the legendary Rafael Escalona who passed away on May 13th. Click here to learn more about his life. QEPD
Peace.
