On December 7, 2011, Alfonso, Julianne and Benjamin preformed in Mexico City at Breve Espacio 15 months of healing and tenacious work had passed since Alfonso suffered a traumatic head injury in his home town of Puerto Escondido.The Fors chose results over excuses. Those that supported their efforts watched the show quality rise weekly as they brought their newly emerging act to Arcis. Cabo, Kabalah and Luna Rossa.
It was one year ago that Alfonso bravely faced his first post-accident audience. Not quite sure who he was, temporarily blind in one eye and deaf in one ear, his face partially paralyzed, not familiar with his songs, he printed out the lyrics in large readable type and with Julianne gave the best he had to a small group of supporters.
Alfonso and Julianne worked for hours each day while their audience of supporters grew. They developed the confidence and the understanding that to eat they had to take their act on the road.
In walked Benjamin with his saxophone. Alfonso, Julianne and Ben lost themselves in the studio, coming out once a week to play an available gig opportunity. They packed up the car and headed to Mexico City....ten years since the last time Alfonso played there.
He had been in exile too long.
There were fans from the past who enthusiastically received them. It was a great evening of music and accomplishment. The first of many to come.
This video is an accumulation of the evening.
Very, very cool.....3 cheers for the home team !!
