Hey Chivites,
        Bennie here... (Professor Esguerra to some of you) just inviting
everybody out to our CHIVA Colombian Halloween party.  The night will
feature the Colombian Kidz, my York University Cuban Music Ensemble
doing their mid-term performance (please feel free to boo them and throw
things), and my Colombian latin-jazz group CHIVA featuring the skinny
Trinidadian trumpet player voted "Toronto's 2005 BEST JAZZ ARTIST" in
NOW Magazine's "Best of Toronto" Awards last week - Nick "The Brownman"
Ali.  Shoulda been "Toronto's Thinnest Jazz Artist Please Someone Feed
Me".
        It's gonna be a good night - please come on out, have some Monday
night
Halloween fun with us and if someone could bring some chicken for Brown,
I wouldn't have to worry.  Cuz I do worry you know.

        - Bennie

"Stacked with all-star musicians, CHIVA - under the leadership of
Colombian conguero Ruben 'Bennie' Esguerra - uses jazz standards,
Brownman originals and seductive rhythms from the Atlantic coast of
Colombia and across South America mixed with jazz harmonies, improvised
solos and urban textues like hip-hop, drum'n'bass, soul and R'n'B to
make this ensemble one very unique and highly energized latin-jazz
group."
