Andy González & Friends -- Arseñio Rodríguez Tribute --
The Stone, New York City -- December 29, 2011 -- Photos and text by Tom Ehrlich © 2011 -- http://www.timba.com/user_pages/andy-gonzalez-friends

It's not always easy to find the hip Afro-Caribbean music events in New York City, but if you do its usually something special. I was lucky to hear Andy González interviewed on the radio explaining that he and some friends were going to do a concert of Arseñio Rodríguez music at The Stone, a small non-profit club run by musician John Zorn in the Lower East Side of NYC the day after I was scheduled to arrive in NYC to visit family. I knew I could not miss this one.

Andy González , who is a legendary Nuyorican bass player, has played with virtually every major salsa and latin jazz group based in NYC and has lead or co-lead major groups such as Conjunto Libre and Jerry Gonzalez and the Fort Apache Band. He was joined by another Nuyorican legend, Nelson González , the tres master, who has also been a major player in the NYC and Puerto Rico salsa scene for many years. Andy and Nelson were joined by Tony Rosas on congas, Joseph González (Nelson's son) on vocals, Juan Rodríguez on bongo and bell and Willie Álvarez on trombone.
