    ¡Hola, mi Gente!

    For the last 10 days now, I’ve been doing my performances with a miserable lung virus.  It’s been challenging, to say the least.  My doctor says it’s the second wave of a nasty virus that’s been around since the beginning of this year and they’re getting inundated with calls and visits from patients.  The funny thing is that most audiences  couldn’t tell!  I’ve learned to hide it and avoid the trouble notes and use great mic technique and extend those driving instrumental sections.  At Sunday night’s private event, I even had them dancing into an overtime hour.  I really don’t know how I do this…

    But I’m so glad I can!  I continue tomorrow, Tuesday Sept 3 at a venue I haven’t played in a year.  I return to Casa Bella in Sunol from 5-8pm.  This private event center will be doing one of these with live music — MAYBE two, depending on next month’s weather, so swing by for the sure date this Tuesday!  A rare opportunity for the public to enjoy the property.  Details below.  

    Your new September Calendar also includes my return to the Walnut Creek Marriott this Saturday September 7.  See you at the show!

    Ciao,

    Rolando

    ¡Hola, mi Gente!

    Thanks to those of you who came out last Saturday to our show, “An Intimate Evening 2019” at the Dunsmuir Hellman Historic Estate in Oakland.  Estaire Godinez lead our great band, Bob Crawford, David Belove, Celso Alberti, Beatrice Godinez and Yours Truly in 2 blazing sets of Latin and Brazilian jazz.  We all wished we could do more of this…

    For those of you who missed it, I have a public show coming up this Saturday Aug 10 at Havana in Walnut Creek from 9-11:30pm.  I’ll be leading Estaire Godinez on Latin percussion and vocals and myself on guitar and vocals through a huge variety of music.  Plus, I just learned today that we may have a very special guest sitting in: none other than the great Carlos Reyes on violin.  Anyone who has seen him knows he always gives the night a huge lift!  Details below.  Don’t miss it!

    Remember, too, that we have a cool version of my Trio which hasn’t played together publicly in many years making it’s debut at Havana in Walnut Creek on August 17.  David Belove on bass and the great David Flores on drums.  I’m really looking forward to playing with these two again!  Details below.

    See you at the show!

    Ciao,
