Wil Campa Blows the Roof Off Yoshi's
Next Gig is at San José Jazz - 8-10
Yoshi and Wil despeloteándose
Wil Campa y su Gran Unión really tore it up at Yoshi's last weekend. Here's Tom Ehrlich's full gallery. It was a combination of years of rehearsing together, excellent vocal and brass intonation and phrasing, really professional arrangements and ANDRÉS MIRANDA - a truly amazing conguero with a groove that you could drive a truck through. The band will be in and around the Bay Area until their performance at the SJ Jazz a week from Friday. Then it's on to the Conga Room in LA on the 11th, Seattle the 24th and NY's SOB's the 31st. If you're in the market to take a lesson from one of these monsters, drop me an email and I'll try to hook you up. The San José festival also features the Bay Area's own Team Bahía on Sunday. Book News: Any week now my book for non-musicians and complete beginners will be done, knock on wood. [Kevin Moore]
The Man - Andrés "Negrón" Miranda
Wil Campa y su Gran Unión [UPDATE 2X]
Friday & Saturday at Yoshi's SF
Saturday Updates: Yikes - this band is ridiculously tight - they make even the best Cuban bands sound unrehearsed. And you really have to see Negrón on congas. Back tonight for another two shows. Check for Tom's photos soon. [Kevin Moore]
Update 2: Dany Lozada at Shango in Patterson NJ TONIGHT (862 600 1958):
Original Post: Here they are at Stern Grove earlier this summer. Click here for tickets.

Tom Ehrlich's Tiempo Libre Photos
Wil Campa this Weekend
Tiempo LIbre played with the San Francisco Symphony Sunday in historic and picturesque Dolores Park. Surprisingly, their kilted killer bassist Tony "Tebelio" Fonte was replaced by Wilbur "Wilvi" Rodríguez (ex-Carlos Manuel, Ntaya). We're trying to find out if the change is permanent or temporary. Click here for the rest of Tom's photos.
Wil Campa y su Gran Unión at Yoshi's SF Friday and Saturday. This is as tight a timba band as you'll ever hear, with almost no personnel changes for over 5 years, all members living and rehearsing in Havana and the mind-bogglingly great conguero Andrés "Negrón" Miranda, of Issac and Irakere fame. More on these shows soon.
Coming very soon: Peter Maiden's gallery/concert report on the recent Escovedo family reunion concert.
Book News: I'm getting close to finished Beyond Salsa Percussion, Volume 1: Latin Rhythms for Listeners, Dancers and Beginning Drummers. It's already over 200 pages with a long historical listening tour, so this should be a good one for people who don't play an instrument but want to get deeper into scene. [Kevin Moore]
