Si se trata del Gallo...

So apparently it seems that I have come across footage of how it's going down at "Los Gallos Social Club", in El Barrio. From the clip it looks like Nicky is on chekere, it looks like Izzy Davila with his back to the camera, but can anyone name the drummers? The tumbador looks familiar.

It looks like someone has provided some names (anonymously)...On quinto is Tony Rosa, on tumbador as I suspected is Abi Holiday, the tres dos player has yet to be identified though. Read the comment section for this post for the anonymous tip.

Los Afortunados con Changuito, Part 2

Looks like Felix beat me to the punch on this one. The night I went to Felix's place we were so focused on capturing vids, that I think we called it quits at about 2am. This is part 2 of Los Afortunados w/ Changuito playing quinto, Felix on tumbador, and Tony Rosa on tres dos.

Los Afortunados con Changuito...

Here's a rare treat with Changuito on quinto and if you notice he's also playing a little iya. Miguel Rios (Puntilla Jr) is on tumbador, and the great Tony Rosa (Conjunto Libre, Puntilla's Crew) is playing tres dos. I kinda like what Miguel is doing on tumbador, its really sparse.

Here you can see Abie and Manuel singing duo up close and personal. As I have said before Abie sings a hell of a duo, and here is just one more example. This is only part one, as part 2 has our own Felix Sanabria on tumbador (which I am working on putting up shortly as well).
