A Night of Worth….
Strolling across the crowded room, noticing the faces and thinking how at times, we all need a sense of belonging and how the phrase “Loiza Aldea” did more for me, than the laughter in the young girl’s voice. And so, as the music played, and rhythms stirred, I walked across the room admiring the rich hues of beautiful women, in many shades and shapes. It occurred to me that the real story was in the moment, the dancing, and the energy of the room. A couple dancing rhythmically to the Caribbean beats as in some spiritual ritual, mingling souls, a prelude to a dream. The rhythms that moved the dancers for me were deep rooted calls to Borinquen.. WEPA!! Another reminder, although far away from the Isla, our identity, our culture, and our music is very much in our souls. On the corner there was a couple talking, against the backdrop of a ten piece band as the music started to play. The dance room seemed to shrink as more and more couples lined up in anticipation. Tonight the featured band was Don Adolfo and his Orquesta Organizacion, Salsa to dance by, with original compositions entwined in a harmonious blend. And while the band setup, the DJ was queued, and we had a chance to chat with the bandleader.

A
Friday night in New York City, the warm breezes of early summer moved
the flaps on my jacket; as I flicked my cigarette into an evaporating
puddle in the middle of the street. The sounds of Latin Jazz, Salsa were
beckoning, from behind the bar and through a myriad of conversations I
could hear the voices of two women as they spoke “what’s the matter with
you…, mira que loiza aldea….hahahah” and as the girlish laughter echoed
down the hall, I chuckled, and shook my head, yes it time to head back
to the band.
