From our friend, Louis...This Saturday at the Cooperage will be a special one including the
participation of the dancers from this weekend's workshops being conducted by Eric Johnson at the Hayden School of Ballet in Albuquerque (see reminder below.)
Plus - just that little, local KICK ASS band that we're so damned proud of, Son Como Son.
Plus - DJ Pancho. My man Lix tells me he'll have 16 in the clip and 1 in the chamber, that is, killer trax he'll be laying out special for the Rueda dancers during the breaks.
If you liked all the flash of the dance contest last night at OPM, then
you'll really go for these get-down rueda dancers. They won't be doing any
back-flips, they probably won't be flicking their wrists for the benefit of
any judges, or waving any hankies around - but they'll be schooling everyone
on what clave is about and why it's so essential to the music. Dig it.
