BASICS OF LATIN MUSIC - Rebeca Mauleon

REBECA
I met Rebeca at Banff in 1994. An Afrocubanismo was held there that we will never forget, Canadians, European, American and Cuban artists, musicians, dancers, film makers featuring Chucho Valdez and Irakere. It was an amazing group of people. A happening that spoke our language. One of the biggest movers and shakers in educating musicians about latin music was Rebeca Mauleon. A great woman, great musician, great author and great educator. Check her out here when she talks about some the basic of latin music. Enjoy. http://www.myspace.com/rebecamauleon

Loving Kona

I am here with my daughter while she does a writing workshop and works on her book. While wanting to make a new post from this wonderful island, found a card marking her "How to Hear Your Angels" book. It read: Inner Peace Brings FULFILLMENT. Attain it. And Life Works. Give It Away and HAPPINESS Becomes Elusive. What does that have to do with Latin Jazz...hmmm. Let's just say, when we do something we love we feel that inner peace, so we do feel like we are at the right moment that fullfillment feels like. I AM TRULY THE HAPPIEST WHEN PLAYING THE MUSIC I LOVE. Kona is beautiful but Havanna touches my soul. Magic happens here in Hawaii. Next post I will tell you, about my experience in "watching what you ask for". Love and blessings this week. A week of healing for me.
