I went to a Cuban restaurant in downtown Manhattan on Saturday night with Frog Prince. He came to visit earlier in the day and I managed to coax him into taking me out for a little night life.
They had Cuban musicians (a trio) playing fabulous music (congo drums, bass guitar and keyboard). The man who sang lead vocals was short and stocky with a husky tenor that reminded me of Buena Vista Social Club. The keyboardist had a fierce big blonde afro that created an interesting contrast with his skin, and he maintained a beautiful harmony while playing.
I have been having a really good time. I am most grateful for this break.

Nice,Nice...From my experience of Cuban cooking in Florida, they hold back on the spice to maintain the patronage of the white people - they never learned to savour the fine delicacies of high spice !
