We had a blast, the place was PACKED & we thoroughly enjoyed the balloons, gifts & cake that folks brought to help us party. It was a perfect day, the sand was cool the music was hot & Zon del Barrio Rocked the Dock at the So. Street Seaport. Gracias.... a la vida & to all those who helped us have a great birthday party.

Join Zon del Barrio alongside community leaders, activists, media personalities & others as we bring Bandera Feva to the Stage. In an effort to promote the history of the flag as a symbol of cultural pride, independence and liberation, the leadership and youth of East Harlem has created this Bandera Feva initiative. Community leaders, elected officials, media producers, visual artists, poets, musicians, teachers, students, counselors, lawyers, business men and women, community gardeners and activists have consolidated efforts in the deeply held belief that “a nation’s flag represents the moral character and history of its people.”
Zon del Barrio will be performing two of their original numbers from their CD: Cortijo's Tribe: "Mi Bandera," & "Revolu"a tune on Domestic Violence which Zon del Barrio will dedicate to Osvaldo Rios, the controversial "PADRINO" (godfather) of the National PR Day Parade.
We will be joined by Poets: Mariposa, Advocate of Wordz and Chilo, of Grito De Poetas, Percussionist, Eddie Conde and dancers from Danza Fiesta. Produced and hosted by Rhina Valentin, La Reina Del Barrio Productions.
