Dear Jibaros and Friends...
I have
received a few emails in which fans have compelled me, to bring
about by the use of my Internet influence to infuse the Puerto Rican
CULTURE element in our festivals, parades and public activities. Mi gente,
I'm on it.... and I won't give up. Okey?
I am getting ready to go
to NYC with the California Puerto Rican Parade & Festival group. As
you, know... I am the "Padrino" and that's a big pair of sneakers to fill.
First time for me! GASP! I bought me a pinstripe suit, the first one in 24
yrs... Yikes! ...and socks! Being a "jíbaro bragao" I seldom wear socks,
but this is big-time, so... sockies, here I come! José and Rebecca Diaz
have put me in the middle of one of the
biggest things I have participated in. Thanks, Joseíto and Reb. Please go
to www.jibaros.com to download a page
size map of the parade route and also a link to the NYC Puerto Rican
Parade site to get details of the event.
Moreover, as webmaster of the CPRPF, I have
other downloads and the bio of our Grand Marshall, the great Albert
Torres, Mr. Salsa Congress himself; an interesting man, he is. Check it
out here... www.caprparade.org
And last but not
least, I have purposed... put culture in the Dia de San Juan Festival....
next year, I'll be working with Benny García to explain what el DSJ
is all about. Meanwhile go check out the Soneros and have a good
time.
Yours truly, Don Jíbaro
Orlando
