I was hanging with some excellent Cuban musicians too, and going to Santeria ceremonies. A friend of my brother's commented, "Oh yeah, that scene". What's funny? This butthead had no idea what she was talking about, had never even imagined there was any such "scene" in her city... People want to diminish you by pigeonholing you, even when it's impossible. She had spent her life here, and if you weren't in a scene, it was beyond her ability to comprehend. Pfft! em.
