The organization of the event and the sound was much better at The Town Hall with Tomatito than with the PdL Legacy Festival. He must have needed some warm up or was a bit nervous at the start because he was messing up a bit, but things flowed more smoothly as the concert went on. The dancer, singers, three guitarists (Tomate, his son, and his nephew) as well as the percussionist were all doing well. It felt like a balanced show, and it was nice to see Tomate give center stage to his son as though getting him ready to officially take over. Tomate looked so small and thin in real life after the concert. I think he shrunk with age. On stage, he looks like a giant, of course. He seemed humble but didn't make much time to chat after the event. His son and most other members of the ensemble were very sweet and spent time with us after the event to chat (in broken English, as I don't speak Spanish, or of course in Spanish, with the myriad folks in NYC who speak Spanish). Tonight, Alejandro Hurtado! [:D]
