The following photos were taken by Izzy Berrios (nymambomadness.com).
There are some surprises on these photos. I was unaware of some of
our Latin legends attended the festival since I was busy at the table. Izzy
was also helping Latin Soul Records sell CDs and guarding the table. At
the same time he went around the hall and took a few photo shots with
some of our legends.

Andres Padua with Benny Vargas (Dax Pacem). Andres is holding a
flyer he created for his website Hardsalsa.com to distribute at the
festival. The flyer contained pictures of classic Salsa Dura albums
including Dax Pacem's LP he recorded in the early 70's on Admiral
Records. Fans were asking for Benny's autograph. Benny was not
prepared for this because he was unaware fans still love his music.
So what does Benny do? He takes my flyers and starts
autographing it for his fans. I should have charge him $5.00 per
flyer. I would have been rich and retired that night at the festival.
LOL! This was my first collector's festival I am never going to forget.

Unfortunately, the person who took this photo and the guys on the
photo forgot who the guy on the left. Sorry! I was also unaware
Sammy Ayala was at the festival. As of matter of fact, Sammy Ayala
is an old timer and legend who recorded with Cortijo Y Su Combo
in the early 60's and with Joe Acosta in the 70's.
