...Conclusion, Part 7

If you live in Montreal, you don't have to spend money getting on an airplane - the whole world is at our doorstep!

Make the most of it for your own life's sake!

¡Si - Ay mucho camina!

...Part 6

Being a person who loves public speaking, I have done speeches in English, French and a short one in Spanish. Now living in the greater Montreal area where one finds 80 or more languages in a day, I get a chance to use my Spanish in public perhaps a couple of times a month or more, usually riding the buses and metro (subway.)

...Part 5

Because her crowd was not culturally adjusted to Canada, in about 4 days I had instant Cumbia parties in my apartment living room and caught on to a lot of the latin culture I have never forgotten, even though only once have I been in a latin country, many years later as part of a business conference.

...Part 4

At the time, I was going out with a lady who had arrived 3 months prior from Quito, Ecuador. Since her command of English was limited, and having a good command of French as a second language already, I went out to cole's, bought a grammar book and a small dictionary, and within 6 weeks was doing quite well with Spanish.

I always admired the "guts and gusto" of Cesar, but I also could relate to the romantic leanings of Nestor. The movie also had some good footage of Tito Puente in action. Tito, on another occasion had produced a vinyl I bought in about 1970 in Toronto entitled "direction San Juan" on which he did an old latin song "Al Paso, Camin Al Paso" with a vocalist.

...Part 2

Later Nestor was killed in a car crash, and Cesar, Dolores and the rest were left to carry on.

As far as I know this tune never had an official title, and it did not appear in the CD of the movie sound track, what is heard here is from the movie itself. Personally I called it "Dolores' Dance" so as to have some sort of title that could be remembered.

This is the scene from the movie "the Mambo Kings" where Cesar Casillo dances with Dolores Fuentes, the Lady Nestor met on a park bench in NYC, and later married.

The business offer in the interlude was one of the gangsters who was recruiting for his stable. This was the type of domination Cesar had always fought so hard to free himself and his "lost in love" brother Nestor from. The movie was, at the start set in Havana in 1952, and soon after they came to NYC.
