A few posts ago, I was telling y’all about El Corillo at Humboldt Park. Humboldt Park is the place were musicians, both good and bad, get together and play salsa along with anyone else who cares to join in. Some play along with recordings and others bring full scale sound equipment along with their instruments. Crowds of spectators enjoy free live music and dance to the infectious rhythms while passing musicians and others join in to take turns playing along with the makeshift bands. Age doesn’t really matter. Young and old all take part. Some of these musicians are pretty good. The park is their stage and the people there become a part of it. I was checking out Youtube the other day and found several Youtube videos that have been posted by some guy named “mrboricuaman.” All his videos are about “El Corillo” de Humboldt Park. Check them out if you get a chance so you can get a preview of what is going on there. The summer is coming to a close so try to get over to Humboldt Park to check it out. Believe me, after a few visits, you too will become part of “El Corillo.” Attached is one of “mrboricuaman’s” videos. I don’t know who mrboricuaman is but whoever you are, thanks for keeping salsa alive. Enjoy the video everyone.Saturday, September 10, 2011
