TIMBA the dog made an appearance at the festival also!
He is owned by Jessica, long time friend of mine and girlfriend to Ricky (timbalero/conguero from here)

Maria Cuevas, fantastic local Cuban singer and Santera. She is like my Godmother. A very powerful and spiritual woman with a heart of gold.

Just out of shot, me on congas, my girlfriend on lead vocals both invited guests for this band for this festival as we are both past members of the band..
