    Really? I met Marcos Gonzalez when they (Sierra Maestra) played in town a
    few years ago. The whole band was a cool bunch of guys, even though I only
    met them because of the big impression my date made on them by her
    dancing. They are also very worth checking out,if my two cents are wroth
    anything. They did an awesome version of Milanes 'Yolanda'.
