Hello Friends,
This is a bit short notice, but definitely note worthy for those of you who love poetry, music, rum or have a bug for performing too! I will be hosting and performing at the Bronx Museum this Friday, November 14th from 6:30-9 p.m. with some very talented musicians. We welcome Latin-Jazz musicians saxophonist Jorge Castro, bassist Alvaro Benavides, pianist Desmar Guevara, and percussionist Gabriel "Gabo" Lugo. The musicians will relate their performances to specific artworks around the gallery, weaving together aural stories about the Bronx. The event culminates with an open-mic portion during which audience members perform their own short stories, poems, or songs set to the musical accompaniment of the visiting performers.
