Version 2! This time the adventures are in NYC again, but still having much to do with Colombian music.

Finally, a picture of Etelvina
On the right is Etelvina Maldonado, a singer in Cartagena and a living legend of bullerenge, a style of music that relies on women's voices and complex percussion. I really wish I could show each and every one of you the power of one of her concerts (those of you living in Colombia should do everything you can to see her perform sometime). To her right is Victor "El Doctor," one of the country's most talented percussionists. They're also great people, and you can imagine how fun a beach trip is when they're along!
This is not a pictre of me. It is a picture of a gaitero, or a musician who plays the gaita, which is a long flute typical to Colombian folkloric music. It's an incredibly versatile instrument, and I wish I could play it, so that's why this is called the Gaiterolog.
