| Andy Gonzalez |

| "Some musicians play to live...I live to play" as Andy Gonzalez told Claire and I at his home. In all my years of working and promoting events, and interacting with musicians...I never heard such simple yet profound words considering a musician like Andy Gonzalez, I can't wait to spend some more time with him. To know Andy Gonzalez is to know one of the living legends of Latin Jazz, Salsa, and Tipico "salsa for the dancer" as he discribed it to us. I have had the pleasure of working and collaborating with lot of salsa musicians, Andy Gonzalez is one of the finest I have ever met. I grew-up reading, hearing anecdotes and stories about past legends of salsa music. Today, as new passages are written about classic salsa, as this genre struggles to stay alive in the "USA" due to commercialism in radio, yet at the same time is bursting in our Latino Hemisphere...Andy Gonzalez...this passionate musician finds himself living day to day so he can keep directing LIBRE as he's done since the band was formed. From Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Mexico City, and Puerto Rico...Libre continues to strike a cord in the heart of salseros everywhere...their first stop on the road again...LATINOFEST 09.

Sincere as always,
Sam Rodriguez
