Miguel Sague - "Cha" - the third - the only son of "my" Miguel Sague continues his dad's fine Latin music tradition in Pittsburgh, Pa

           I was totally "blown away" when I heard Miguel Sague's only son - "Cha" - Miguel Sague, Jr. - on the Congo drums and doing the vocals during the recital at the Main Branch of the Carnegie Library - designed like a huge mansion - by the Carnegie Museum in Oakland at the Pitt (University of Pittsburgh) campus last Sun. Dec. 26 - 2010.  He sounds really good - like his - famous in Pittsburgh, Pa - dad - Miguel Sague, Sr. The New "Guaracha" Latin band the name of the band "Guaracha("Cuban Dance") - loosely translated from Cuban Spanish the name of this Latin band - has a steady gig at the Shadow Lounge - Baum Blvd - Pittsburgh, Pa - starting the second Wednsday in January 2011.  Bring a can of food for the Pittsburgh Food Bank to get a discount on the "gate" fee.
        Show up - for sure - "Cha" will teach a Salsa lesson -  and he is truly fabulous Salsa dancer - I dance a good Salsa with him - ever since he was - literally - a baby - always a good dancer. Mark Custer - a fine trumpet player - continues with "Cha" just like he did with his famous in Pittsburgh, Pa - father. The first song performed - a charming Cuban ballad - showcased "Cha's" smooth voice - as he beats his conga with super energy and talent. We need to mention two other musicians in new "Guaracha's" band - under "Cha's" leadership.  Base guitar handled efficiently by Justin Brown - has a smooth sound - however - the regular guitar sounds splendid - as Carlito Pena - the Colombian musician - handles it with mastery.  "Cha" performs some popular hits from major South American Countries and Cuba.
         I especially enjoyed a ballad "Llorona" - a Mexican masterpiece - performed sensitively and with much control by a relatively young - "Cha".  It was a star musical piece in a famous movie about Frieda Kahlo - a famous Mexican painter - whose gruesome works relate to her turbulent life with a well known Mexican painter/muralist - Diego Rivera.  A Mexican American movie star - Selma Hayek - was totally brilliant/gorgeous as a main character as well as a producer of the excellent movie about Frieda Kalho's life - called "Frieda".
