Today, Sunday Jan 27 from 5 pm to 9 pm in NYC, rumberos from different Afro-Cuban folkloric groups such as Raices Habaneras, Quinto Mayor and other ensembles around the city and in New Jersey will be celebrating the 68th birthday of one of New York's own, Mr. GENE GOLDEN, a veteran percussionist with many of this city's top aggregations. Gene is also an excellent teacher of rumba, bata, palo, and many other AfroCuban music forms, as well as latin jazz. If you are a serious student of AfroCuban music and live within subway or driving distance of lower Manhattan, don't miss this. It promises to be a fun time and everybody is invited! If you can play, dance, or sing rumba, you will be welcome to join in, although the musical standards will be pretty high today!
