[FA Worldmusic] Horn of Africa/ Train songs

[Rosi Amador]

Hello all, 

Long time no contact.  Hope you're all well!  Happy new year.

Re: trains, my band Sol y Canto recorded "La  Fiesta del Tren/the Train
Party" in our latest CD on Rounder Kids. It's a bilingual original by my
husband Brian about the train running behind our back yard in a calypso
rhythm recorded by our Latin sextet.

Hope to see some of you at APAP.  I will only make it on Sunday and Monday,
but look forward to seeing you.

Take care, 
Rosi
