Last night's show was phenomenal. I attended the Rafael Cepeda Festival in beautiful Viejo San Juan where Mapeye performed as well as Tata Cepeda's 25 person Bomba group!!
There's an overarching message of the Festival that was reiterated by the MC last night and that was that Puerto Rican music should be celebrated and that Puerto Ricans continue to share and practice the music and keep the legacy going.
He said that if the audience was taking pictures of the show that they should facebook the photos and share them so that the world can see the beautiful music of Puerto Rico.
Whoa, was he talking to me?
I met up with Julie, who's also in Puerto Rico with the Fund for Teacher's grant. She took me to Cafe Seda where Bomba was in full effect. I ended the evening in front of Cafe Ceda at 1:30am before it started raining, choppin it up with the Bomberos from Desde Cero about when classes are and the history of Bomba. Good Night...
