ray barretto - indestructible

Let's take a minute to remember our fellow Americans down in Puerto Rico, who are still coming back from that hurricane. We owe those people a lot for all that they have done for us, and we owe them all of the help that our sorry asses can muster.

We owe them, for one thing, this Newyorican incarnation of La Musica, the Salsa music. I can tell you, whether it was at work, or at a party, or playing soccer, or having dinner, or in a band, these guys bring so much energy to the enterprise that you just can't believe it sometimes. They could be hard to keep up with, but it was always worth trying.
