On Friday night, we got to hear our daughters' band perform at the Blue Moon Ballroom. The evening began with a dance lesson in cumbia. After the lesson, Fuego took the stage.

Fuego's music is high energy--with Latin,African, and Caribbean beats. There are nine musicians who play keyboard, sax, trombone, two drumsets, congas, and a plethora of percussion instruments.
Marcial, the smiling drummer in this photo, is the lead vocalist and the musician who started Fuego.
Sara and Cadence have been singing with the band for just over a month and this was their first performance (a 3-hour gig --lots of songs to have learned!) We had so much fun. Now if we could just learn to salsa dance...
