I live in California and was just visiting NYC back then, checking out live music like Libre and Daniel Ponce's Jazz Bata w/ Puntilla. Teddy Holliday, a freind of my Godfather Markus Gordon, invited me to the bembe. Teddy didn't come. I took a taxi to Queens. The folks were very open and freindly, but I knew no one including the drummers. Sorry I couldn't be of any help.

Do u want to create a new category?
How do u think we should create the new forums?
For example:
The history of percussions and music (category)
>> Congas (forum 1)
>> Bongo (forum 2)
and so on...
I await your comments to create the new forums...
Bye
