Conjunto Alegre
In scheduling an interview for this Wednesday with organizers of the upcoming 19th Annual Fiesta de la Isla in Vacaville, we also hoped there might be an opportunity to connect some of the Borinquen musicos with the audiences here in Solano County. Tony Vega is not yet in town, most musicians are rehearsing, while the volunteers and staff are dealing with details for the Big Day.
As it's turning out, we've worked it out to also have Vallejo-based bandleader LeRoy Rodrigues in the studio, discussing his group, Conjunto Alegre, who will also be performing at the Festival along with Bay Area-based salseros Rumba Café, Luis Acosta, and dance troupe Afinkao. If all goes well, members of Conjunto Alegre will offer a live performance. Stay tuned!
