+++ Goyo de la Rosa writes: Peter Cook from CBC’s Concerts on Demand alerted us to ALEX CUBA playing solo at the University of Calgary late last year. The concert is available here at the Concerned Citizens’ Coalition Weblog in our blogroll under ‘ALEX CUBA.’ ALEX CUBA is the new moniker of Alexis Puentes, late of the celebrated Puentes Brothers son duo with his blood brother Adonis, both from Cuba. I appreciate the notice from Mr. Cook at CBC, and refer listeners of fine music to their wonderful on demand concert listening service with enthusiasm. +++

+++ Sara Marreiros is the first female musician from Victoria on Vancouver Island to be designated ‘VICTORIA MUSIC LIONESS,’ information which will appear on the Concerned Citizens’ Coalition Weblog, also known as the ‘CCC Weblog’ found at: goyodelarosa.wordpress.com/, maintained by CCC founder Gregory Hartnell who blogs there under the moniker ‘Goyo de la Rosa.’ In fact, ‘Goyo de la Rosa’ is writing this very type in front of you! Sara has consistently produced a very high quality of musical artistic work since her days at the Sevilla World’s Fair with the Juno Award-winning Victoria band of fond memory Djole, and well deserves to be the first Victoria woman in the world of music to take the top place on the CCC list. Adonis and Alexis Puentes were the first two Victoria Music Lions placed on the CCC list yesterday. Please listen to Victoria’s reigning queen of the mournful fado, the Lisboa blues, by visiting her website, which is found in the upper right hand of your screen under ‘VICTORIA MUSIC LIONESS,’ or under ‘MARREIROS, SARA,’ lower down on the right hand Blogroll, which you will discover is conveniently arranged alphabetically, or it may also be found in the tags by clicking the following web address:

Goyo de la Rosa: Adonis Puentes: This Brother makes la musica cubana con mucho sabor!

+++ I did a tile job once for Adonis and his brother Alexis when they lived in a house on Fernwood owned by Sarah Puentes’s father and some other Catholic Workers…idle name dropping, I know, but if Taki can get away with it, so can I, even if I was down on my knees working for the betterment of all…which brings me to the website link at hand, one for ADONIS PUENTES, brother of the same Alexis who formed the PUENTES BROTHERS group. Now Alexis is on his own with a band called ALEX CUBA BAND, but Adonis is just as suave and caliente as is his brother Alexis, as a listen to the new recordings at this site will show…Gracias, mis amigos cubanos por este musica sin igual…Goyo de la Rosa…+++
