What a pleasure to play salsa with three trombones! This time at Dolphin Mall, Miami with Orquesta Calle Sol! Fun night of plena with Gregori Laviosa’s Black & Wine Events at the St Regis Hotel Miami Beach for Hora Loca! So lucky to be honored and involved playing the 4th Annual Hollywood Salsa Festival backing Melina Almodovar, Latin Grammy winner Chino Nuñez, Aymee Nuviola, Tito Puente Jr., Marlon Fernandez, and Michelle Brava! More than 6000 people danced and loved the sounds of this special night! Read about it in Our City Hollywood Magazine here! Amazing time playing at the 3rd Salsa Festival at Young’s Circle in Hollywood, FL – more than 5000 people danced to the salsa of Orq Calle Sol, Ramses Araya, Melina Almodovar and special appearance by Tito Puente Jr! Read more about it here! ![]() Check out the article from ActualMag about us – with video, photos, and more! “Planetarium a popular group, captivated the crowd with plena music, a type of sound which began more than 100 years ago bringing the stories of Puerto Rico’s history and folklore to the world. It became popular in the 1990’s when modern sounds were incorporated to it. TRUCUTU ORQ CALLE SOL MAY 2014: http://youtu.be/1S52an5GU8E Thank you to everyone who helped Bonegal reach the Top 10 in Reverbnation’s Latin Miami artists this May!! Stay tuned for more! What an honor to be house band at Miami’s hottest new Lounge & Restaurant! Orquesta Calle Sol is playing every Saturday night at Touche Rooftop Lounge – comfy couches, open-air rooftop views of downtown Miami and the Freedom Tower, and live salsa! I’m so happy to be part of this experience, playing with amazing musicians and the heavy, salsa dura from the 70’s and 80’s! Great crowd, amazing time playing plena with Plenatarium at this Puerto Rican street festival held for the second time in Miami! Enjoyed Carlos’s singing, Henry’s percussion, Charlie, Dannie, Jimmy, Perry, and Carlos on congas and panderetas, bass by Vincent, Josue on trumpet, Danny on keys, and more! Miami’s newest Salsa Dura band – Orquesta Calle Sol had a great opening show at Blue Martini in Brickell this week! We packed the house on a Monday night and people danced to 3-part trombone salsa songs from the 1970’s and 80’s like Lluvia Con Nieve, Aguzate, and Que Humanidad! What a pleasure to play with these great musicians! I just sold my first student trombone from childhood! Bittersweet moment, parting with a horn that has been with me since 1979! My 1950’s King Cleveland was awesome! It was played in two countries and 4 states, and patiently waited for me in storage in 5 more. It’s been on hundreds of stages, in parades, auditions, and football games, and was played in the Vancouver World’s Fair and on Main Street at Disneyland! It survived a building full of smoke from a pipe bomb explosion and falling down the stairs with me while marching. Over the years the bell was dented, tuning slide jammed, the inner slide broke into two pieces and was soldered back together many times. It was carried on many buses to schools and long walks home. It taught me about patience and recovery. And metal working. And tarnish. And jazz and blues. Carrying it everywhere gave me a sense of identity and helped me become comfortable being an extrovert, having to tolerate many nicknames and answer questions like “What’s THAT?” and “Isn’t that for boys?” and “Don’t you need long arms to play the trombone?” Today, with almost no lacquer left, no spot without a dent, the slide sticking in three places, and the eternally broken crossbar needing yet another repair, it goes on to the next person to give it new life and enjoy! Goodbye good old friend!
Acabo de vender mi primer trombon estudiantil de mi ninez! Momento agridulce, ya algo que estuvo comigo desde 1979. Mi Cleveland King de la decada de 1950 fue impresionante! Se tocado en dos paises y 4 estados. Estuvo guardado en 5 estados mas donde espero pacientemente por mi. Ha estado en cientos de escenarios, desfiles, audiciones, y juegos de futbol. Fue tocado en la Feria Del Mundo de Vancouver y en la calle principal (Main Street) de Disneylandia. Sobrevivió la explosion de una bomba casera, y una caida en unas escaleras conmigo durante una de mis marchas. Durante los años, la campana fue abollado, el ajuste deslizante atascado, y la vara interior se rompió en dos pedazos y se soldó de nuevo muchas veces. Fue cargado en muchos buses a colegios y a largas caminatas a casa. Me enseno la paciencia y recuperacion. Y a trabajar en metal. Y la oxidation. Y el jazz y el blues. Llevarlo a todas partes me dio un sentido de indentidad y me ayudo a estar comoda siendo una persona extrovertida, teniendo que tolerar muchos apodos y respondes preguntas como “Que es ESO?” y “No es para ninos?” y “Acaso no necesitas brazos largos para tocar el trombon?” Hoy, casi sin laca restante, sin ningun lugar que no tenga mella, con la vara trabada en tres lugares, y el travesano eternamente roto, pasa a una nueva persona para darle una nueva vida y disfrutarlo! Adios mi bueno y viejo amigo!

Amazing day of salsa music at Hollywood Beach with the David Rodriguez Band and Orquesta Expression!
Thanks to http://ericsonsmith.com for the amazing pictures! Debbie plays trombone on this premier of Negra Zandugera, an original salsa song by Phil Morales and the Orqesta SalsaBuena! This Mardi Gras Festival is the first public appearance of the song with a full salsa band, and I’m proud to be part of it! Phil’s dream was 10 years in the making. It’s quite an accomplishment to finally hear his original music performed with our 10+ piece salsa band! Amazing outdoor afternoon gig with Hector “Tito” Colon y Orquesta la Unika! We were a 13-piece salsa band and we closed the evening at the Latin Spice food festival at beautiful Pinecrest Gardens with high energy songs including Juana Pena, Mi Gente, and Salsa Con Clase. Great gig last night with the band Studio54 at Pavillion Grille in Boca Raton. These guys know how to throw down a show and get people dancing! Sat in with a great 4-horn section: 2 trombones, sax/reeds and trumpet for 2 sets. Thank you Carl and Anthony for the invite! Great jam with Orquesta Klibre last night – amazing energy, musicians, and great songs! Looking forward to playing more with the group while I’m in Miami. Debbie was invited to march and play in the 13-piece James Madritsch Band at Bayview’s spectacular 4th of July Parade – complete with cannons and fire trucks cooling down the day! The Humboldt Park Association judges awarded Bonegal, Dale ‘Mr. Trumpet’, James Madritsch, Jake the trombone, Greg Doby, and others “Number 1 Unit” in the parade! You know you’re at a special gig when the horn section includes Mr. Trumpet and Bonegal… The crowd at La Pica danced to two sets of fiery Puerto Rican salsa sounds from Rumbon D’Esquina until wee hours of the morning. During the fast, hectic music, Tony gave hand signals to the band members from the side of the stage. He’d let us know it was time to move on to different sections of the songs, cueing the horns to play the Mambo using the classic rockers horn sign, holding down his middle two fingers with his thumb. Tapping his forehead with closed fingers and thumb meant it was time to play the Mona section. Finally, he’d call the end of a song with his raised fist, indicating “out.” Deb jammed on bone with Rumbon D’ Esquina in Milwaukee’s Historic Mitchell District at Casa Vieja’s outdoor Summer Party! After the rain let up, the 10 musicians of Rumba D’ Esquina kept the crowd dancing to 2 hours of high-energy Latin tunes like Vamos A Rier Un Poco, Se Le Ve, Sacude La Mata, Ella Menea, and Con Fuego! Great guys; amazing music – thanks Tony! Enjoy these photos from the gig! Sat in on 3rd Bone with the All-Star Superband for a night of Basie! Great gig, packed house at a great Irish Pub downtown Elm Grove! Thanks Mike and Gary! Great gig with wonderful people. Backed Robin Pluer, Mrs. Fun, Julie Wood, Kim Zick, Peter Roller, and Stas Venglevski at Milwaukee’s Bastille Days for 3 shows Thursday, Friday, and Sunday, July 2010

Paul is working on a new album and I had the opportunity to be the first trombonist recorded by Brian at Mike Hoffman’s place in Bayview! “Debbie is a talented trombonist who became a member of Makeno Son in 2008. Filled with flashes of energy and knowledge, she demonstrated great musical skills and rhythm, In addition to team work and responsibility. In each of the rehearsals and performances, Debbie showed her enthusiasm and love for music represented through her trombone.” Makeno Son has been playing for ten years in many venues including festivals, private performances, weddings and TV appearances in Ecuador- South America and the United States. Makeno Son plays a variety of Latin-American music including boleros, ballads, huapangos, sones, cumbias, rancheras, waltz, salsa, etc. Their musicianship earned them a lot of respect and a lot of fans for the Latin American music in Ecuador and the United States. We recorded a 9-song demo at Studio Blacktree in James Island – thanks Scott! In the studio with Julia VanDaam! [audio:http://bonegal.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/fruitcake.mp3|titles=Fruitcake] |
