Michel, Marcela, Rich and more...

We hope you enjoyed tonight's show. It was a pleasure to be able to bring you live music from our Columbian friends, Michel and Marcela, accompanied by our own Rich. Martin and I thought they were wonderful. The instruments Michel and Marcela played are all hand made by members of the Grammy award winning band Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto.
