Day 43 | Baltimore: Day 3, Part 2

Good day Mi Gente. Just finished my last workshop at the Kizomba-Salsa-Bachata Congress in Baltimore. Epic! A bit tired, but to be expected. It’s a great event and being with amazing people that actually want to learn kizomba makes me feel happy. Happy Easter to everyone. And for the folks that were there encouraging me, […]

Day 43 | Baltimore: Day 3

Good afternoon. After a looooooooong sleep, I must tell you wow, yesterday was off the chain. The fear of performing sober is over and while I was on the stage I could see clearly that it was just a fear because the energy of the people helped me through the performance and after. I slept […]

Day 34 | Gindungo: Day 1

Good morning Montreal. Baila Con Gusto has never been crazier before. The pre-party was off the chain, starting with a performance with Frans and Sarah that brought the house down and the big kizomba room – Louvre – still didn’t have space for all of us to dance and when the kuduro came on the […]

Your boy went to Moka, another beautiful place where we dance old school Cuban Salsa and Bachata. It’s actually a legendary place because most of the folks that go […]

Day 21 | Gindungo: 14 to go

Good morning, Mi Gente. The dream of today was a little bit weird but I’d rather start with my quote so that everything flows naturally. Today’s quote: “wanna find out who your true friends are? Get sober.” I think this is self explanatory and I don’t need to give my two cents about it. But […]
