The Algarín Sessions Vol. 2
Monday, August 30, 2010 at 11:03AM We, Bomba y Plena, were honored to sit with Puerto Rican poet, writer & co-founder of the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, Miguel Algarín in his home where we spoke about his life, his writing, our culture and what the future holds for us as individuals & Nuyorican poets.
Here he shares with us his memories on the opening of the cafe, his writing and feelings about Plena's brilliant idea a night honoring Algarín, The "69 Years Young" Birthday Tribute on September 11th. There will be a room full of legends and spectacular artists filling the Nuyorican that night. Our fabulous host Hosted by Papo "Swiggity" Santiago of Capicu Poetry & Cultural Showcase will guide us through a night flowing with words from Miguel Algarin, Caridad De La Luz (La Bruja), Simply Rob (Grito de Poetas), Maria Isa, yours truly Bomba y Plena. Since the creation of the event we've been please to add on some special surprise performances by musicians & legendary poets. You'll have to be there to find out who!
