NACIONAL Y RUMBEROS COMO CHANG EN LA FOTO JUNTO A FRANK OROPESA ADMINISTRADOR Y BONGOSERO DEL SEPTETO NACIONAL..."

"This photo was taken recently at the tombs of Ignácio Piñeiro and Carlos Embale in an homage organized by members of Septeto Nacional and rumberos such as Chan, in the photo with Frank Oropesa, current manager and bongosero for Septeto Nacional"

"...Y EN LA OTRA TENEMOS A FRANK OROPESA JUNTO A MININI DIRECTOR DE AFROCUBA DE MATANZAS CON MOTIVO DE ENTREGA DE MEDALLAS POR 50 AÑOS DE TRABAJO ARTISTICO."

"...and in this one we have Frank Oropesa with Minini [Francisco Zamora], director of Afrocuba de Matanzas, when they received medals recognizing them for 50 years of artistic works."

Thanks to Román for sending these in and congratulations to Frank and Minini for their achievement.
