Where The Living Room Used To Be

Jesús Andujar is a highly respected Latin percussionist that's toured the world and, though he grew up in the Dominican Republic, has made the choice to call Rhode Island home over 20 years now.  In our interview we talk about how being a farmer as a child helped him with his skills, the wonderful opportunities afforded to him because he's a musician, and the current state of live Latin music.  Interlude songs*:"No Me Sigas Mas" by La Gran ManzanaJesus Andujar and Grupo Sazón with Anthony Carrillo live at Burnside ParkImprovised jam with Anthony Carrillo on conga and Jesús Andujar on shekereGrupo Sazón demoMy Blue Heaven merengue Recorded January 30th, 2020 at Blackstone Valley Visitor Center in PawtucketIntro music by CedrosHosted by James Toomey *for demonstration purpose only
