In our tribe, it's the matriarchs who pass the drum to the next generation. Above, Grandmas Coop & Bean present Amado with a pint-size djembe from California. A couple of years ago they gave me my two conga drums. When Amado gets a bit older I'll teach him all the Afro-Cuban rhythms I know--admittedly not much, but enough to get him started.
It's been a very busy few days, with all the Gallegos family in town to meet the baby. But it's been really fun showing folks around Toronto, with it's exotic weather and all. :-)
