Our thanks to An Die Musik for asking UMLA to co-sponsor this event and to all of our guests who shared this afternoon of great Latino Music!
Special thanks to the Palmieri Trio: Eddie Palmieri, Luques Curtis and Brian Lynch for a legendary concert. We are looking forward to a CD of the Trio.
Although Mr. Palmieri has already thanked Wanda Jimenez multiple times for the beautiful and delicious birthday cake she made for him in the shape of a gift, UMLA would like to thank her by posting the photograph below:
