Tonight I'm starting my extended Arte Viva weekend, joining Junior Alvarez and his band, along with Jimmy Mac and other special guests for the pre-festival calypso jam at Le Costa de Papito from 7 to 10. Tomorrow I'll be in town again at the Lazy Mon for my solo sunset show from 5 to 7 PM to help warm up the crowd for a whole evening of live music culminating with a true cultural icon, reknown pianist and national Minister of Culture and Youth, Manuel Obregon, in a rare local appearance performing with our local Calypso Limonese legend on the festival's Plaza de Cultura main stage. And Saturday I'll do a short solo set on the big stage myself at 8:40, opening a night of music headlined by the high energy Latin fusion of Lucio Calavera and la Canalla. Bring your dancing shoes for that one!
