events worldwide that include music from all cultures not just his own. Jose's love of music as well as its origin and history has motivated him to compile an extensive collection of music which dates back to the early 1940's.Jose does not attribute his success to the many venues he has played, or to how much music he has, but instead to the people that enjoy coming out to support him at
all his events. Jose is constantly trying to learn more and more about all types and genres of music and is eager to share what he has learned to anyone who is willing to listen. Jose is a firm advocate for Dance groups to dance but more importantly learn about
the rich history of the music that they dance to.

the music you hear. Let the songs you dance to, listen to, drive to, work out to,be the stories of our history, culture and life experiences. The dance should never take precedence over the music".
