This is the first contribution by Documentarian/Archivist Alfie Alvarado who has generously added to the blogs treasure trove of videos. Alfie has been in the forefront of documenting the Latin/Rumba music scene since 1997. Many of these are rare, one of a kind videos. We are overjoyed to be able to share them with you.

Timbalaye at the South Street Seaport

Many groups play "Latin Jazz." Many are good solid bands. There are however, a few exceptional ones in my humble opinion. Nueva Manteca and the Fort Apache Band are two of them. Then there is TIMBALAYE! Man..what can I say? Listen to this performance y dime tu. The date of the gig was 8/16/00.
