Oh – yes – good point, Liz. I do remember it being impossible to decipher what they were speaking about between songs last time at Rackham. We obviously still had such a good time that we forgot about that part! Thanks for making sure we have the best space possible for each performance! 🙂

Hi all! Beth from UMS here – so glad you all loved the show! I was able to attend the 4pm show with my 3 year old, and it was just as Brian described. What a dance party! It is true, Jen, there is better space to dance at Rackham (where I believe they have performed several times in UMS history) – but I had to admit the toddler mosh pit was still a pretty rockin’ place. It was great to see the artists stay in the lobby talking to kids until the lobby was empty. Glad you got to meet everyone, Maddy and Amy! It was great to see the whole crowd jump up at the end to “All Around the Kitchen” (http://www.danzanes.com/videos/all-around-the-kitchen) – its still playing over and over in my head!

Glennda –

Aside from searching around on YouTube, the group has a great website at http://babylovessalsa.com/video/ where you can check out audio/video and follow other information about their performances.

Enjoy!

What a fantastic interview – and great kickoff to the Living Archive!

Mary –

See Liz Stover's link above – it forwards you to the usual list we put out each year onhttp://www.ums.org. The umsLOBBY.org site was designed to incorporate the plethora of multimedia opportunities out there, as you see above. But we also know that you like to get your facts – straightforward and fast – and that's why we've kept the simple lists and ticket info on our main website,http://www.ums.org. There are also video links there on each individual artists' page as we get into the season. Hope that clears things up a bit.

@Amy – My daughter is 18 months – same thing! She was a crazy bundle of energy for the next couple of hours. I think my favorite part was the kiddie "mosh pit". I also thought it was a bit loud – though it started out just fine. It didn't seem to bother my daughter, but I know there were a few people who moved around, or might have left. @Archer – I agree – I'd rather not use earplugs either. I'll try to find out some info from a few of my co-workers at UMS re: sound levels. @Margaret – I agree!! Bring them back!!! 🙂

I can't wait to go to this concert! I'm always looking for opportunities to expose our toddler to new and different kinds of music – and I'm grateful that UMS presents a few shows each year that young children can attend. My daughter LOVES world percussion – her favorite toy is a little djembe she got for her first birthday. I think she'll be dancing on her feet the whole hour (like she did for the Keith Terry concert earlier this year)!! Are you bringing a child to the Cyro Baptista concerts and/or the educational percussion activity beforehand? I'd love to hear about your experience!

OMG! Did he just play "Electric Car"? I can't get that song out of my head. This is great! I love to see artists backstage in their "natural habitat" – haha. More more more!

Works great – thanks!
