This photo was taken at my house's backyard in San Francisco in 1987, I had to get a fire permit to build a real fire over a large "Weber" grill that we had removed the legs from! The fire was really strong, and people were getting too hot and almost burned, it was a crazy idea... But we had a lot of fun doing it! This was the Band that recorded the first album (on vinyl, not CD yet!) entitled "Ilusiones." Going around (L to R): Jeff Cressman, Sandy Cressman, Jesús Diaz, Karl Perazzo, Marty Wehner, Ismael Rodríguez, Ramón Lazo and Edgardo Cambón. The hands (only) on this photo were later digitally cropped and used for our second CD, "Madre Rumba, Padre Son" cover.
