Cubans in Miami

Coral Gables holds Tropical Park where a monthly free dance is held for the Cuban community. The State Senator, Javier Something, set it up and attended, to the delight of the photographers.
We loved the band, Habana Soul Orchestra, because they did all the old stuff that we love from Buena Vista Social Club, "El Quarto de Tula", "Son de la Loma", and some Cha cha that the locals don't seem to recognize as anything different from their Mambo. They noticed our style and came up later to settle their arguments as to whether we were Cuban. One even asked if we gave lessons in our style!
The photographer with the big camera took our picture. Maybe we made the Coral Gables Daily News, if they were tired of showing the senator or the band.
