View down King St on the way to Las Tapas. August 22, 2006 6:44pm
It's 6:17am on Wednesday as I type these words. This'll be yet another short and sweet entry since I got a few errands to get out of the way before heading to downtown DC for a noontime performance at Woodrow Wilson Plaza in the Ronald Reagan building. Except I'm going to be in the audience this time, hehe. Don't know who's performing exactly, but I believe the group will include dancers Edwin Aparicio and Anna Menendez, guitarist Richard Marlow and percussionist Behzad Habibzai--incidentally Behzad performed at this venue two years ago with Danzamarina (here's a pic).
Last night (Tuesday) at Las Tapas was a blast performing with dancers Edwin Aparicio and Anna Menendez of course, but having percussionist Gonzalo Grau made it even more special. I'm tellin' ya, this guy is really good on the cajón!
If you went to see Entresueño, you've heard him already and know what I'm talking about. He recently arrived in the DC area (previously lived in Boston), but I'm sure that as word gets around about this amazing Venezuelan-born musician, his schedule will quickly fill up.
Genoveva, Gonzalo Grau, Anna Menendez and Edwin Aparicio. August 22, 2006 8:42pm
If you haven't heard Gonzalo yet, you might find him occasionally accompanying Genoveva's classes at DC Dance Collective on Sunday nights. If you're interested in booking Gonzalo for a show or if you want to take cajón lessons (he's also a salsa percussionist and pianist) call 917-204-2254 or send him an email.
Anywayz, tonight I'll be performing at Cafe Bonaparte with singer Carlton Ashton at around 9:30pm. Call 202-333-8830.
