Saturday, July 23, 2011. After a two year absence, returning like a sheepish, recalcitrant lover, I beg your pardon. Much has distracted and led me astray, but since there is no excuse. I will give none. Tonight I invite you to join me tomorrow evening at the Cafe Royale in San Francisco, located at 800 Post at the corner of Leavenworth. I'll be joined by Ray Scott, Alex Baum, and Bob Blankenship. We'll be doing a nice selection of Brazilian, Latin, and Jazz standards. Music begins at 7:00 pm.

http://keribu.blogspot.com/2008/07/40-on-jazz-week-world-music-chart.html
Tuesday, July 22, 2008. 44 on the Jazz Week World Music Chart. My CD started to get some radio play across the country as the radio campaign got underway last week. and well. I guess it worked! In addition to debuting at #40 on the chart, I was #3 in terms of 'add ons'(the number of new stations that played my CD). The highlight was the fact it was featured on a syndicated show out of Seattle called Jazz After Hours. Please check the full review. I have another gig coming up at the Cliffhouse.

161;Vamos a guarachar! Compartiendo rarezas del mundo rumbero * sharing rarities from the world of rumba. Thursday, July 09, 2009. María la O, ¿quién es? Rumba lyrics are filled with allusions to colorful and evocative characters, mostly anonymous: Pregoneros, gossips, chinos, la china con diente de oro, to name just a few. But there is one name that appears more than all the others: that of María la O. Has there ever been a rumba at which her name hasn't come up at least once? 161;María la O, kuenda.
