had a wonderful time. It was a beautiful blend of cultures
 and backgrounds without a single axe to grind.

We all shared the goal of promoting and preserving a form of music
 that is both historical and current and loved by all who were present. 
We owe Marcinho Savant for making this happen, and for a great cause."
- Valerie Ridenour, Key West, The Newspaper
