Hello Everybody!
I'm going to Finland next week, and loking for somebody to be my guide in latin music of the country:-) I'm the percussionist, vocalist and band leader of latin jazz/descarga orchestra from St Petersburg. I need any information, like where to go, may be some jam sessions, concerts, clubs. Send me please a message if you can give me any advice. Thank You!
P.S. I got a CD of Finnish salsa band, Salsamania, it's realy great. I hope the band is still workin'?
Good Luck to Everybody!
Dmitry

Hi!

Salsamania isn't really active anymore. The album is funny:)

I guess you already left Finland?

How was Finland? I'm finnish, and I'm somewhat in the latin circles. At least here near the capital. I'd be interested to know who you saw and what did you think about everything concerning our latin circles.

PS. Yes, I know they're not large or anything

Hi guys,

Does anybody know how to reach Tomás Jimeno Diaz for a couple of lessons?

Are here any bataleros from Finland?
