Yes you tell them Ed ! How dare Merceytwo not know about my web site www.tampaVallenato.com . And if anyof you hear about any up coming events in the Tampa, Florida area or Florida for that matter please let us know about it. The reason the Normal Orlando Event did not happen this year is the promoter got a late start planning the event and by the time he tried to get several good groups they were taken. Vallenato Music is becoming very popular and it's harder to get the good groups on big weekends. Vallenato it's not just for Colombia anymore!

They have one of these here in Miami also and Miracles of Miracles, due to decreased attendance last year, the Promotor, CongodeOro.com ACTUALLY DECREASED the Entry ticket price from $35(last year) to $15(sat) and $(20) Sunday. $25 if you buy a 2 day ticket.The Promotors last year tried to bleed the Miami area Public for all they were worth and it backfired bigtime as evidenced by a much smaller crowd in response to sky high ticket prices for an event out in the Middle of some Hot un-airconditioned field. When the Colombian-American Businessmen's Association first hosted the Event for many years, the Entry price was a reasonable $7.50 per person for years and the place was packed. When CongodeOro took over the event, the first year they ratcheted up the prices way too high and the once big crowds simply stayed home. The Miami area Colombians aren't anyone's fools,,,LOL

Funny on the below link to CongodeOro, try to open the Ticket Link and it won't open(at least from my computer), maybe NOT to shock the people? I had to email them for the ticcket prices.

I will look into this matter also. In the meantime get your gear ready to party in Florida and celebrate the Independence Day.

Damn I hate MySpace. Where the hell on that jumbled mess of a page are the photos? I got as far down as the beautiful ladies and still saw nothing from the event.
