In Search of Son Jarocho

What a musically satisfying summer this is turning out to be! In June I spent a little time in Veracruz, Mexico, where I soaked up the music and ate great food. Thanks to my friend Beto, I was lucky enough to take in some really joyful music-making. Check out our Colás medley...

What the Goose is up to this summer...

Our old friend Father Goose is starting up dance parties of his own this summer. Here are a little video footage of him and his band at Madison Square Park, NYC, singing Bam Bam from his latest album It's A Bam Bam Diddly!



For those of you in the NYC area, the Goose will be taking the party to Lincoln Center's Midsummer Night Swing this Saturday, July 19. Stay up to date on where else he'll be at fathergoose.net .
