| Tonight
(Nov. 2) is a great night to show up at Mario Martinez' Puerto San Luis Yacht
Club restaurant to enjoy fine entertainment from a variety of Guanacaste singers
and musicians. The program in the capacious and beautiful restaurant begins at
8 pm with five entertainers who intend to demonstrate that their talents are worthy
of support from the expat community. Only five or six expats have attended the
three monthly Pena Cultural concerts the local arts association has presented
so far. Now comes the opportunity for greater numbers to enjoy the surprisingly
accomplished talents of these amateurs who should be professionals. Perhaps the
word will spread after tonight and these singers and guitarists will have regular
paying "gigs" | at
Mario's or the Arenal Country Club. Performers
tonight include Cristian Porras, the humorous and inventive guitarist and singer
from Tilaran. Also from Tilaran are scholarhip-winning Ana Maria Herrera, a wonderful
singer and guitarist and her sidekick, Gustavo Wattson. From Nicoya comes the
widely popular and rousing singer/guitarist Guadalupe Urbina, and from either
Nicoya or Santa Cruz Olman Briseño, another singer/guitarist. What makes
these people especially entertaining is their affability and humor. The
cover charge is 3.000 colons. You'll be glad you spent it. This entertainment
is worth a lot more.
