FESTIVAL COLOMBIANO, IN PICO RIVERA - July 22, 2007
These are a few pictures taken at the Festival Colombiano,
at the Pico Rivera Sports Arena, on Sunday. I was there for about three
hours, from 4 pm to just after 7 pm. As I walked in, Sanalejo, a "rock en espaņol" band was playing. They were followed by La Palabra, backed by a band
made up of good local musicians, all familiar faces, and accompanied by
the "Palabra dancers".
They had just wrapped up the set when I
left. I had left the most important part of my family at
home...(everybody!)
Therefore, and unfortunately, I did not
get to see Luisito Carrion perform. I assume he must have started
after 7.30 pm, backed by Johnny Polanco y su Conjunto Amistad. I'm
guessing so, because I saw several of the band members there.
As usual, it turned out to be a good
party. Colombians are party people for sure!
I scored an El Cantante t-shirt from the El Cantante film
representing crew. Thank you very much. And thanks to
http://www.vivamigente.com for
inviting me to the party. One more
thing, my condolences go to John Peņa, one of
the promoters for this event, whose father passed away just hours before
the event. May he rest in peace.
