The Puerto Rican Festival, in San Dimas - May 31, 2009

   Nature collaborated in San Dimas on Sunday to create an awesome day for the Puerto Rican Festival celebration.  It was an all-day affair, from 10 am to 7 pm, during which several artists participated, including Orquesta Tabaco y Ron, San Francisco's Orquesta Borinquen, and Tony Vega, backed by local musicians - several members of the Angel Lebron y Sabor Latino band reinforced by special guests such as the great conguero Robertito Melendez and the Balancio brothers on trombones. 

   The following is a bit of what was going on during the Tony Vega set.
