Joshua Bennett is quickly becoming our favorite Chicago-area photographer for bands and dancers (yes folks, he's also for hire, see his email in the photos), and he was on the scene at Orquesta El Macabeo's wild performance at the Bottom Lounge as part of the 2nd Annual Afro-Caribbean Improvised Music Festival.  As you'll see, he did a great job of catching the different band members en acción.

More photos and a full review of the entire 2nd Annual Afro-Caribbean Improvised Music Festival (including this band)  are coming soon, but for now, check out these action shots of what we feel is the most exciting young band to come out of Puerto Rico in years.  [Bill Tilford]
