[Revinci] House concert a huge success

For those of you who missed it, I just thought I would let you all know that Saturday night's house concert at the home of Dulce Ibarra and Gonzalo Wills (68 Kamloops) was a sold-out success. The Latin American based jazz by Carlos A. Santana and his Jazz Trio, full of the unusual beats from Cuba, Brazil, Argentina and Mexico -- rumba, tango, salsa, bossanova -- it was all there to carry the winter-weary audience on a trip to warmer climates. The three extremely talented musicians played their way through two 45 minute sets that went by far too quickly. The Wills family had organized the house to accommodate 73 people. Guests were invited to bring a small appetizer if it was convenient and something to drink. There was wine, good company, food and wonderful music. And if that wasn't enough, they raised *$865* in support of Childplay International! That will cover almost two full months of operating expenses at the Women's Shelter Playgroup project in Lima, Peru. So, Dulce and Gonzalo really deserve a big round of applause for putting together such a fun event for such a good cause. There are rumours that they might do it again. If that happens, get your tickets early! Marita Moll
