Que Suene La Timba - What is timba?
People often ask me what is timba? So here is a fresh perspective from the mouths of the musicians themselves from the Team Cuba documentary.
Soulful timba - A new timba group without a name
A new timba group out of Stockholm, Sweden:
"Under the direction of 21-year old pianist Jonas Pomo and with the lovely Cecilia Ferrer on lead vocals, they are bringing timba fans a soulful timba."

And in the process this group is broadening the appeal of timba... You can hear a sample song at http://soundcloud.com/jonas-pomo

Chewy Milk Toffee - This is not fudge!
Ingredients: 2 12 oz cans of sweetened condensed milk, 4 tbsps of unsalted butter, 1.5 cups of sugar, color/flavors to taste
On high heat stir the condensed milk, butter and sugar continually. (Add whatever flavors/colors you desire.)It should be hot enough that it is bubbling without boiling. I use a wooden spatula for stirring. As time passes the mixture thickens, and you start to see the pan bottom as you stir. When the mixture slowly spreads out after being pushed to one side it is ready for spreading. Periodicaly check for how chewy it is by putting a little on a teaspoon and cooling in the freezer.
Spread out mixture on buttered surface, spread with buttered rolling pin and then score and cut into squares while still warm.

Thinking and Being
"I think, therefore I am", and so "descend with mind into the heart".
I leave this thought for people to contemplate. I also acknowledge Rene Descartes and St. Theophan the Recluse, whose sayings I have fused to make a phrase pregnant with personal meaning.

The Street Man's Definition of Noun, Adjective, and Verb
I heard these the other day and thought I would pass them on as these working definitions are easy for people to apply.
Noun - any word that you can put "the" in front of
Adjective - any word that you can put "am" or "is" in front of
Verb - any word you can put "to" in front of
Try these out for yourself and see.

Time
It seems only yesterday,
but why should it be?
Time is merely a mortal invention,
a constraint on souls struggling to be eternally free.
