    What a way to make the chulvi chorra.
    Jávea falls to pieces and you give it to yourself as a cultureta, everything is pathetic, very pathetic.

    I vomit with every feat of yours, you make me dizzy.

    Do you play in the auditorium?

    Then let her take a swim at the Urinal beach and let Bámbula dance for a while.

    And if he is a bit of a maniac, instead of the sea of ​​debris, he should go to the municipal swimming pool. Great plan.

      I don't want to answer anyone.
      Just to say that having the chance to see chucho Valdés live, even if it's free, is one of the best pleasures that we can give ourselves as music lovers, and especially jazz lovers.
      Chucho Valdés for me is the best living pianist you can see today in Latin jazz, and the accompaniment he usually has is one of those that take your breath away.
      I recommend that you do not miss one of the best concerts you can see this summer, and for free.
      A lover of good music.
