Hi Jorge ,

Thanks a lot. This web site "answers" my request. I saw you wrote a post one year ago about the Cliff Brooks Quinto Solo book (Vol 1). Have you any information about the volume 2 release date (The Cliff Brooks web site AFROCUBANSHOPS does not seem to have any link to post a message) ?

Marco

Hi Marco, hope all is well! I believe Cliff Brooks frequents this Congaforum. I have no idea when Vol.2 will be available.
Here is Cliff Brooks e-mail address, feel free to contact him.

Jorge (or anyone else) - http://www.orishaproductions.com has a good range of videos, they even do European PAL format so there is no excuse for me not ordering. Are there any particular recommendations for (performance) rumba videos?
