Yesterday we had such a nice weather here in NYC so I decided to go for a run. When I came back I was feeling so good that I decided to record one of my songs so I could share it with you guys. Its called "Tu Barrio" ("Your Neighborhood") and it talks about a man who decides to move to the neighborhood where his loved one lives. He talks about how perfect things will be now that they'll live closer to each other, but then (he says) "there is only one problem: its been more than three months since we talk, its been a lifetime since you've forgotten me..." Hope you enjoy it.
These last few months I worked with Pablo and Anna Mayor from Folklore Urbano on a "colombian music residency" at a school in Roosvelt Island, NYC. It consisted of working with 2nd grade students on a weekly basis and teaching them about colombian rhythms, dances, instruments and more. At the end we put together a show with them which you will see on the the footage. Although it wasn't always easy, it was such a fun experience working with these kids!

Tonight I'm playing solo at Le Caire Lounge, a small intimate Egyptian lounge on the east Village. As you can imagine I'm not playing Egyptian music (not that I could if I tried...hehe). I'll be playing some of my songs as well as some classic boleros, bossa novas, samba, rumbas and more. The place is really chill and there is no cover. You can smoke some "shisha" (or "hooka")) and sit on some low cushioned sits and enjoy some mellow music with just guitar and vocals.
I'll play one set starting around 8pm and if the is enough people left I'll play another one around 9:30pm. Here is the info:
