In 1986,'87 I met Jorge Tapia at the Rumba in Central Park,
he invited me to his house, made me a watercress salad and we listened to Cuban music.

Hola hermano! Hoy, cuando me levante, puse uno de mis CD favoritos en el CD player: Cuban Gold.
La contribucion de los Van Van a este CD es "La Habana No Aguanta Mas." Tambien este CD tiene "Que se sepa yo soy de La Habana."
Es natural que me gusten estas dos canciones. Naci en La Habana en 1944.
Este CD fue producido por QBADISC en 1993. Merece ser incluido en todas las colecciones de los amantes de la musica Cubana.
CUBA VA!
Gracias por toda la musica tan buena de Cuba que tu tienes en Fidel's Eyeglasses.
Hola, soy nieto de Jorge Tapia. Gracias tanto por tener una foto de él y uno de sus muchos grupos encendido aquí.
Hola Vitae, saludos a tu abuelo Jorge Tapia!
Excellent - what an all-star lineup.
Over 111 downloads of this .Rar file....
and only three people say thanks?
This is why I no longer post as many files as I used to.
Thanks brother, really apreciate your time and dedication to mantain alive this great music
Mi respects from Costa Rica
Pablé
De nada Pablé, enjoy!
Que viva Costa Rica: probably the only country in Latin America that values it's natural resources ie: beaches, mountains, rivers, forests more than any other country!

Just wanted to say that yesterday my Grandfather, Jorge Tapia, passed away for a heart attack in his home.
