It's 11am on Monday as I type these words. It's been a crazy but fun flamenco-filled weekend so I've been going to bed at 4am or later and getting up late everyday. Anywayz, here are some pics from last Friday at Cabanas. We had a lot of friends in the audience including Daniela and Cindy (and her family), the "Italians" Antonia and Roberto, Marylin and Marcela, Lydia, Nina, Mateo and Idi. Onstage we had dancers Ginette Perea and Shahram, singers Hector "Piraña" Márquez and Naíto and cajón player Jason Vera y Aragón and yours truly, Miguelito, as always on guitar. :-)
Daniela gladly volunteered to be my photographer during the show. Cindy's dad also took some pics..stay tuned.

As for tonight (Monday), I'll be at Cafe Citron as usual performing with singer Gerard Moreno and dancer Sara Jerez. This'll be a good night to come...a LOT of my flamenco friends will be there:
Local guitarist Juan Delgado will be there--it's his last time to party at Citron before he leaves the country.
My dancer friend Cindy Ali will be celebrating her last week of summer vacation before returning to work. Get this: the last couple of Mondays my friends have gotten up on the bar to dance...it's a famous Cafe Citron tradition. The motto is "Dancing on the bar is not only allowed, it's encouraged!" I hope to see a whole bunch of my friends dancing on the bar tonight. See you there!
