On a day before a major snowfall on our neighbours just over the border in Buffalo, and an infuriating mix of snow and wind in Toronto: some photos of Cuban-Canadian singer Adonis Puentes, and legendary Cuban Tres maestro Pancho Amat. With a sizzling band, a lunchtime slice of Latin music is just what the doctor ordered. Now Buffalo’s digging out, the sun has re-appeared in downtown Toronto, and I’m still astonished by Amat’s proficiency on the Cuban six-string. Puentes is no vocal slouch, either.

Pancho gets stuck in.
“Can I play faster? Why yes, I think I can!”
Adonis teaching the audience some Cuban lyrics.
Yes, these guys really are this much fun.
Next up: Sara Dell tomorrow, and a super-secret entertainer in early December.
