We had no idea of what we were about to experience. Let's start at the beginning. While sitting at Karakters rehydrating after one of our walks a few days ago we made online reservations for this Sundays Jazz Lunch. It took a few minutes and we received confirmation of our reservation, an easy way to do it. We got to Porto Cupecoy looked around for a bit then took our table and ordered lunch. I had a bacon cheeseburger (real ground beef not a patty)and my wife had a mushroom and goat cheese pizza, both were very good. Then the band set up, I knew 2 of the musicians Ronnie Santana and Alfredo. But what we didn't know was that this was a performance for a local woman in need, going through a bump in the road of life that obviously the local musicians knew, her name was Helen. All proceeds in the tip jar went to her.
We had no idea of what we were in for. There was 15 to 20 musicians that filtered in and out of the performance. Ronnie Santana played the guitar and Alfredo on drums and then they switched, there was probably 4 different guitar players playing the same guitar depending on the song, same for the drums. There was at least 4 local women singing vocals. The same on keyboards and the horn section was ever changing. I talked to a saxophonist after the performance and he told me that all the musicians don't get the chance to play together but today it happened. We were blown away for being in the right spot at the right time for this event. It was beyond memorable. We made reservations for next Sunday before we left.
