Greetings, Productivity, and Clarity for all. This is Nicky Laboy inviting everyone who is a dancer, singer, drummer, and a lover of music, dance, and culture, to a night of socializing, jamming, laughing, learning, embracing, networking, and celebration of Life.
A brief intro to Caja Dura :
This group started in the perfect setting and home to me, Camaradas El Barrio. Along side Dj RonZilla with the party Beats & Eats, I was invited by the owner Orlando Plaza to bring another drummer to play along side some good vibes, great food, and a gentleman rolling cigars. I made a few calls, invited a few guests to an open rumba jam only using cajon drums. This group was to preserve the rich Afro-Cuban culture of rumba with the sounds of cajons. It makes a difference. It was named right outside of Camaradas and forever since, has been.
Now, I would like to take this group, and open it up to everyone that shows interest in the culture, love, and music of the Caribbean. Therefore, creating this party.
I've announced saying that this gathering is for the sole purpose of building those broken bridges, making new ones, embracing our elders who have passed through music, laughs, chants, and movements. as we all know, there are plenty of talented musicians, singers, dancers, etc etc., Can't we all just get along? JAJAJAJA
Kidding, No joda, come down, sing a song, dance a dance with someone, play some drums, have a good time. I will have my cajons there, PLENEROS, bring your panderos, Bomberos, bring a barrel, and RUMBEROS, bring your voices, and if you want to bring a conga, fine by me. If you play bass, or flute, bring it...
