Who doesn’t like something for free?
Although I won’t be doing public presentations for my new book “Meditations/Meditaciones – Bronx/Salsa” until October (at the earliest), I’ll be giving away a signed copy of it tomorrow afternoon, Friday September 23rd, at around 5PM EST.
How do I win it, you ask?
Very easily…but you’ll need to access the “Meditations” Facebook page through your account at the link below. (If you cannot post it to this page, then post below as a comment.)
And what is “Meditations”? It is a bilingual collection of poetry I just published under Fireking Press that is the result of listening to the records of my 1970s Bronx Puerto Rican childhood after over thirty years. Heavy stuff, indeed. *Plus artsy stuff, too…and edited with the help of five poets, writers, translators, and professors in the US and Puerto Rico.
Here’s what you’ll need to do. Find your favorite [salsa/guaracha/charanga/rumba/bomba/plena/guaguancó/son montuno/bolero, etc] online video clip via YouTube or any other free and public video channel (one submission each, please) and post it to the “Meditations/Meditaciones – Bronx/Salsa” wall by clicking right here.
Whoever posts the video that makes my day wins the book. That’s it! ¡Buena suerte!
More soon…
Love, Charlie
Espero que funciona, no tengo facebook… lol
I love this clip. It is old and poor quality, but just seeing how these musicians are really having a good time… wow they are so real and so good with this clasic!
FUCK!!! I bought it… XD
