I
had the privilege to attend the 7th annual WFDU
fundraiser event given by Vicki Sola. Vicki
has been the host and producer of the popular
radio program "Que Viva La Musica"
since 1984. This weekly Saturday afternoon radio
program, which broadcasts from 89.1 FM to the
greater New York/New Jersey metropolitan listening
area, features straight ahead salsa, Latin jazz,
and interviews with musicians.
It was a great night of fun for all. Latin Percussion
donated a pair of Bronze
Shell Tito Puente Tribute Timbales which
were raffled off. Notable musicians who performed
on this evening were Little
Johnny Rivero, Pablo
Chino Nuñez, Eric
Velez, Orlando Vega, Jimmy Bosch, and Dave
Santiago among others.
