Artist of the Month:
VINCENTE AMIGO 
 (b. 1967) 
Vincente Amigo
 
Born in Seville, Spain, Vincente Amigo won a Latin Grammy in 2001 for "Best Flamenco Album". A master of scintillating, seductive guitar melodies, he was only 20 years old when he won first place in a national guitar contest.
 
His recognition escalated when he participated in a Guitar Legends concert in Spain, alongside such guitar greats as Paco de Lucia, Keith Richards and Bob Dylan. This got his foot in the door to a place among the greatest guitar players of all time.
 
Backed by numerous other awards, he is widely admired and has played alongside many other well-known musicians, like Sting and Alejandro Sanz. Since the release of his first album in 2001, Vincente Amigo is considered one of the most talented and imaginative Flamenco artists, and crosses the boundaries of traditional Flamenco sounds.

Best of Bermuda Gold 2008 
 
The Bermudian magazine summer 2008 edition is on store shelves, and it has reported that the Salsa Night, run by the BermudaSalsa.com group, held every Friday at the Veranda Bar has won the "Best of Bermuda Gold" Award for the "Best Night out for Dinner and Dancing".
 
"If you arrive early enough you can even get lessons at the Salsa Night held on Friday at the Veranda Bar (Elbow Beach Hotel, 60 South Shore Road, Paget, 236-3535). Smoking hot rhythms and even hotter couples sizzle up the dance floor, providing viewers with entertainment and inspiration to give salsa a whirl themselves" (page 79)
