… how to pick the best song on Pupy’s new CD… songs we will be hearing live at Pupy’s concert May 19 in Toronto…
Those who long for the old days of straight Cuban tumbao, almost a “son” feel… long before reggaeton… might find this one appeals the most… Parece Mentira, originally done when Pupy was with Los Van Van, and sung by Angel Bonne. Revised version is very solid, very traditional, sung be El Noro!

For more than 20 years Jane, friends and repair crew have have been visiting schools across the island, taking donated and bought musical insruments, supplies, spare parts and music directly to the student who need them.
With some of the most gifted repair technicians in Canada ,we set up a mini repair shop in a school for a week. The students get to see their damaged instruments fixed while learning basic repairs.
At the same time we offer workshops and master classes in Jazz and Classical music . At the end of the week, the students whose instruments are beyond repair receive a new or high quality used one.

There’s a nice tribute to Yosvani, who we see with many of the Cuban and Latin bands around town. Yosvani was once a member of popular Cuban band Bamboleo. This is on the occasion of Yosvani’s assistance in a charitable event for Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada. From that site:
Originating from the island of Cuba, Yosvani Castañeda was just 7 years old when he first picked up the Violin. Classically trained at the Amadeo Roldan Conservatory in Havana, Yosvani’s talent as a Violinist has taken him around the world. Yosvani has an affinity for bringing together urban and classical sounds, which speaks to his multifaceted skill as a Musician. In his spare time, Yosvani offers private music lessons to children. “I think that one thing missing from today’s generation is live music, I want to inspire young people to pick up an instrument, and show how it can be incorporated into popular genres.”
And in case you missed it, click here to see the amazing talent in action!
