Top names in Salsa Music which included Moncho Rivera, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Ruben Blades and Gerardo Rivas came out to celebrate percussionist extraordinaire Bobby Allende‘s 60th Birthday in a concert at Lehman Center for the Performing Arts. Bobby has been performing with the greats, since turning 10 years old. Above is a photo I took of him while performing with El Rey del Timbal Tito Puente at Madison Square Garden, NYC.
RIP – Tio Eddie Palmieri (The Sun of Latin Music)
