So it was that time of year again, and the cast of Bar Buena Vista returned to our shores bringing with them a little piece of Cuba.
Wonderful people, some true legends amongst them, some legends in the making, truly humble, happy and amazing characters.
Here are some pics of our week filled with Rumba, Parties, great company, awesome food and lots of Havana Club rum!!

Heres a video of a bit of the Rumba from the welcome party: My bro Tonio on Salidor & tres golpes, later in the vid Fredy from Buena Vista jumps on Salidor, Im on Quinto, towards the end Juancho from Buena Vista jumps on Quinto, Luis Chacon "Aspirina" gets in on the action also, enjoy.

¡Oye Abakuakinski! ¡Oye Cabrona!
¡Que sin vergüenza, dando quinto por donde quiera y peor todavía, repicando con to’sabor y cache!

Oye Brothelito, that DOES sound like a wicked quinto…..directly from Cuba. Your chops are extremely tasty and I know you bring it to every rumba when you show up! Chacho! You sound great Papa!

Thanks guys!

It really was an awesome week, for a while there, it felt like I was back in Cuba. Needless to say, I will be hooking up with the guys when I head back there this year.
Aspirina is a legend, he can be seen on atticchris youtube account, several vids along with Adonis Calderon & crew...

Onile, man you crack me up brother. :lol:

I have more video footage which I havent had the chance to upload yet, will try to get onto that in the next few days. that vid was shot by my bro's girlfriend.
