One more “almost Cuban” posting…
It’s now accepted fact, that in the seminal period of the musics of New Orleans and Havana, they were each other’s strongest trade partners. And many elements of culture and music crossed the water. OK, that’s enough to justify Irma Thomas being here…
Who is Irma Thomas? The Rolling Stones had a few key songs that made the world bow down for them … one of the big ones was called “Time is on My Side“. Where’d they get it? Don’t get her started on it, but… Irma. They are having an “artist’s talk” at 6:30 PM…
Queen of New Orleans R&B, the music that started Rock and Roll… and Mardi Gras Second Line. If you don’t know about the musical culture of New Orleans, she’s going to tell you.

Ms Buzz says the trailer for the new film is now up:
The cover is finalized:
From the site: The mass reggaeton youth movement has managed to unhinge the authorities whose attempts at control simply fuel the phenomenon. Meanwhile, salsa musicians have had to chase collaborations with these new street superstars to stay on-trend. In turn, they’ve helped them overcome government restrictions on the genre by fusing salsa and reggaeton into an explosive rhythm cocktail no dancer can resist.
