One of our treasured subscribers Jorge, who is deep in the tradition and comes from a family that is too, shared this gem with us.
Rumba at its highest level.
Here’s what he says about it:
“One of the Greatest Dancers and his group back in the ’80s… The real Rumba… Aspirina Family. He was the director of la Comparsa Los Guararechos de Regla, my Hometown. These guys are on another level.”
The artistry of Luis A. Chacon ‘Aspirina’ and Grupo Laye

One of the great living music masters of New Orleans music, Shannon Powell, suffered a stroke and he and his family need our help.
He has given so much to so many, especially young musicians. Let’s do what we can to pitch in and help.

Jerry González recalls his friendship with bass legend Jaco Pastorius.
Jerry’s explanations of the clave and the behind-the-scenes time that goes into great music are absolutely priceless.
Ends with a rare recording of a collaboration: Jerry González/Jaco Pastorius at the late/great 55 Grand in Soho, NY.
Another clip from the film and another lesson about musical reality
Victory Bailey picked up a bass and was a pro from Minute One. How the heck does that happen?
