2nd Annual Festival Del Cuatro in So Cal a huge success!!

Mi genteeeeeee!
The Festival Del Cuatro organization extends their deepest and most grateful Thank You for saying "Presente" at the festival. The festival was a great improvement from last year. And we expect to do the same next year. We expect to use what we learned this year to make the festival better. Our organization will take a couple weeks to recoup from it all and we will then provide you with highlights of the event and begin planning for next years.
Performance by Alvin and Elsie Medina, Yomo Toro and his group, Edwin Colon Zayas y su Taller Campesino and Nelian Colon were outstanding. I was getting chills from watching these musicians perform. You can see the passion in their performance.
We saw people in the crowd crying during Edwin and Nelian Colon performance. That should serve as an example, that we should never be too busy for our children. Anything you do with your children is great. I've tried for both my children to play the cuatro. I have been unsuccessfull and gave up that idea and developed another. My 14 yr old daughter and I have danced, tap dance, for the past three years. My son is learning how to build the Puerto Rican Cuatro in my shop in Moorpark. Don't give up, maybe you need to do with your children not what you like, but something that you both would. :-)
Feedback received so far is no less than outstanding!!
Con Cariño,
