When you are in oakland check out the following places

Ashkenaz (berkeley)
La Pena Cultural Center (oakland)
El Rio (san francisco)
Alice arts center (oakland)
Yoshis (oakland)
Cafe Van Kleef (Oakland)

There is also a great local guide to entertainment called the
San Francisco Bay Guardian. It lists all of the local shows and is available free pretty much everywhere.

A google search on any of these will provide all the info you need.
Oakland is great for all types of music so you should not be bored while you are here

If you have any more questions feel free to email me at
matthew_smith007@yahoo.com

Also where are you playing in Oakland?
Peace

Hi Niall,

Hope all is well! While in New York City you might want to check out clubs SOB's and Satalla. Ocasionally they feature Cuban and Latin Jazz artists.

Saludos,

Jorge Ginorio

You can do the same with myself as well. igalvez11@yahoo.com

On Sunday, 9/18 I will be at a place called the Triple Door performing with a Latin Jazz/Salsa band. JC knows of this place it would be great to hang. Here's the website for more info:

in NYC, check out Sports Plus Cafe sunday nights

there is a place in the NJ also, where they play rumba during the day, Gene Golden told me about it...i totally forgot the name, (its not Esquina Habanera which closed by the way)

also try checking out what http://www.lafi.com, as they are in the DC area, and Ashe Moyubba it located around there in the area.

also i just ran into this place in Jersey as well, never been, and never heard of it:
Cucalambe Club
4418 Bergenline Avenue
Union City, New Jersey
Afrocuban rumba and Timba cubana Cover $3
Authentic Afro-Cuban rumba played by rumberos from Havana and DJ Gary spinning the best Timba Cubana between sets plus Cuban videos on huge screen!
