Saponegro Records is in the process of completing a new album from it's newest artist Claudio Arbañil. Originally from Argentina, Claudio has traveled all over the world playing his guitar. His music style incorporates Argentinian as well as Peruvian styles with jazz. In the next few days Saponegro will be posting Todos Estos Años (all these years), an album made in 2001, on the website and Claudio is currently recording an album in the Saponegro studios that should be done within the month. I have sat in on some of the recording and the album should be great.

I am posting two videos today. One, is behind the scenes footage of the Gabriel Alegria Tour that Gabriel sent to me from Hampton, Virginia. The second, also from the tour, is one of Huevito's cajita solos. The cajita is a great, unique sounding instrument, and Huevito is a master.
