Things To Do This Weekend...

Folks, there are a couple of concerts happening this weekend at 'Grand Performances' at California Plaza. These are FREE concerts. First, on Friday night it sounds to be a great tribute to Gil Scott-Heron. If you are familiar with 'The Revolution Will Not Be Televised' then you know Gil Scott-Heron. If you are not familiar (then my age is showing!) you need to look it up and LISTEN.

I, myself, along with the husband & friends will be found there for Saturday nights tribute to Cachao. This is classic Cuban mambo from the original, so get ready to MOVE! Members of his band will be performing this tribute. If any of you out there were around L.A. in the late 80's/early 90's you may recall the band, Mango Bang. Acquaintances of mine, Nelson and Richard were a part of Mango Bang and will be on stage for this tribute, having been some of the privileged musicians who actually performed with Cachao in his later years.

It is supposed to be a hot weekend and it is going to get even HOTTER at Grand Performances.
