Machito, the Legend

Things are good, just very intense and insanely busy.

I hope things will settle down by September.

But hey, the show must go on, even if intermittently.

There are TWO clips here. Make sure you look at both.

The first clip is the English language section of an excellent documentary on Machito.

The second clip is the entire documentary.
