I looked for this because puertorican fellow twitter was a bit upset and I wanted to bring some cheer to her heart.
En PUERTORRO ES DONDE MAS YO GOZO! Which translates to "in PUERTORRO is where I have the most fun!"

Gilberto Santarosa singing to his loved one: "Que alguien me diga.... como se olvida como se arranca para siempre un amor del corazon... que aguien que sane mi alma y borre recuerdos que me torturan."
He sings in anguish for having lost his loved one and wants to know and asks everyone how can I erradicate this love pain from my heart, how "do you erase a hurting feeling, how to get rid of these thoughts that torture me. In search of someone that will heal me..." Gilberto Santarosa y known as "el Caballero de la Salsa"... "the gentleman of Salsa." He brought love and smooth romantic Salsa to the world! He is special.
The photo is a photo of lechon asado a la vara and morzillas (roasted pork and blood sausage) which we ate at Guavate, Puerto Rico. A favorite of puertoricans.
I LOVE MY COUNTRY, ITS MUSIC, ITS PEOPLE, ITS FLAVOR, ITS OCEANS, RIVERS, MOUNTAINS. We are very small but we are heard in very far away lands. Can you believe there are salsa orchestras in Japan? Yes indeed! The funny things is that they sound just like the puertoricans playing. Can't even detect an accent. Because of my love for my country, I feel an incredible need to share same with all of you out there. If you read it fine, if not, go in peace and enjoy this glorious day!
PEACE OUT!
