What of a Summer Evening? (Tito Puente Latin Music Series)

What of a summer evening when you accept your friend’s invitation and join your fellow humans to celebrate being alive?

The venue is public – O’Day Park next to Villa Victoria Center for the Arts. The music is live. There is just enough sun and just enough of a breeze for summer comfort. Rain teases but does not fall.

The music washes over you in waves and enters your veins making your legs, fingers, shoulders, toes, head, arms, hair and eyes dance in response. Some peoples’ bodies compel them to the space in front of the benches and chairs of the small amphitheater. They fill that space. They dance:

  • Women and men,
  • Women and women,
  • Men and men,
  • Children,
  • Soloists
in a variety of casual and fine array, the tribes of the human family represented in the skin tones from onyx to alabaster and the hair luxuriantly curly/kinky/straight/bald and the eyes of every shape and size.

We are beautiful people in this lovely world.
