Sol Y Son Cuban Band Direct From Cuba
Behinds the scenes is a small group of Yborites forming a new art company for Cuban & United States Musical & Arts Trade exchange. Novel is the idea of these area gentlemen including Joe Capitano, Sr, Alan Kahana and 2 others trying to open up relations with the Cuban government to hear authentic Latin music here in Tampa. After 6 months of negotiations and great assistance from U.S. Congresswoman Kathy Castor in getting these trade agreements open with the Southern Communist island accomplished. The group will be playing in Ybor City, Tampa and Madeira Beach for the next 3 weeks. Then they will be going back to Cuba.
‘Sol y Son’ is a Cuban band. This band of experienced musicians from some of the most prestigious groups in Cuba was founded in 1990. Their reputation has grown since then both nationally and internationally, most notably in the UAE.
A kickoff performance was held at Tequila’s Mexican Restaurant on Fat Tuesday night. Many local business and political leaders attending including Tampa City Councilman Charlie Miranda.

‘Sol y Son’ has a wide repertoire of songs which includes Latin American and Caribbean rhythms as well as Spanish, English and Arabic classics. All of these are delivered in ‘Sol y Son’s’ distinctive style which has made them so popular wherever they have played. This Cuban specialty sound popularity is nowhere better seen than in the UAE where their contracts have been extended in five star resort hotels in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai. They have played there for well over a year now.
In addition to the above countries performed, they have presented their material on both radio and TV in their native Cuba, and have been given enthusiastic receptions in renown tourist centers, conventions and national events.
The group takes its name from the Cuban rhythm of ‘Son’, and its music is truly one of the best examples available today of this tropical Latin sound.
No matter what your taste, ‘Sol y Son’ will appeal with their flawless technique, popular selection, rhythmic sound and professional appearance.
Wherever they have been and wherever they will go, ‘Sol y Son’ always draw and receive the accolade they deserve.

Your may have been asking…What are those huge Red Snails and why are they here?
“Foreverglades”is an environmental installation of six large red recycled plastic snail sculptures installed in front of the SSB and PAB. The installation will be in place mid-January through Earth Day, April 22. The “Foreverglades” installation premiered at Art Basel Miami at Miami-Dade College’s Freedom Tower—large recycled, plastic animals by international artist collective William Sweetlove and the “Cracking Art Group” based in Europe, represented by Gallery Ca d’Oro, Italy and Miami. The snails made their way to Tampa from Central Park in NYC where they were installed through the months of November/December. You may have seen them on CNN, while reporting on the recent snow storms in NY.
In its REgeneration Art Projects, the “Cracking Art Group” creates public art using recyclable plastic. The red snails are part of an intriguing public art series designed to inspire community-wide conversation about the importance and impact of recycling. They will provide HCC students with a conscious perspective on environmental protection and sustainability of Florida’s Everglades and fragile environments. They are bold, unexpected visuals that will leave a memorable artistic trace in Tampa. The REgeneration Art Project has developed an international following placing large, colored animal installations in a variety of unusual spaces worldwide, including Paris, Milan, Venice, Rome, Prague, New Orleans, NYC and L.A.

You Can Not Make This Up.
Back in the 1980’s, when I was in my late 20’s, I was selling real estate in Tampa. One day a call came into the office. The gentleman was the owner of a large home in a very prestigious neighborhood in South Tampa. He wanted to list his huge home.
I did all the preliminary work and came up with a listing price. When I arrived at his home he gave me a quick tour of his home and then told me that his wife & kids were gone. The next thing I know this guy is all over me. I’m telling him…. No Way!!! No Way!!! Then this scum bag tells me that if I want the listing I will have to have sex with him, now.
Once again I tell him, NO WAY!!! Then he tells me that if we do not have sex he will call the police and tell them I broke into his home. I laughed into this face and said, “Do burglars break into homes with listing agreements and comps on “Your” home?”
I was out the door.
About 6 or 8 years went by. Then one day he walked into our MC Film store on Kennedy Blvd. He totally forgot about what had happened & did not remember me. I smiled and was very PC polite to him. He then became a regular of ours at MC Film.
To this day he comes by once a month. His wife has since passed away and he still thinks his kids don’t now about him and his secret life. He is now far up in age and always asks where the young boys are?
We all laugh and say in Tampa somewhere.
