Day 22 | Gindungo: 13 to go

“We can’t become who we want by remaining who we are.” Sober day 22, smoking-free day 22. Let me tell you a funny story about yesterday. Your boy went to Moka, another beautiful place where we dance old school Cuban Salsa and Bachata. It’s actually a legendary place because most of the folks that go […]

Day 21 | Gindungo: 14 to go

Good morning, Mi Gente. The dream of today was a little bit weird but I’d rather start with my quote so that everything flows naturally. Today’s quote: “wanna find out who your true friends are? Get sober.” I think this is self explanatory and I don’t need to give my two cents about it. But […]

Day 23 | Gindungo: 12 to go

Good morning Mi Gente. This post is exclusively for my fellow dancers, especially new dancers and new performers that are trying to break  into this kizomba business by any means necessary. Listen here, motherfuckers! I am an artist. Flavie’s an artist. Aka we need to teach classes and we need to travel to make our […]

Day 24 | Gindungo: 11 to go

Good day, good day Mi Gente! Fuck man, I had a crazy dream last night. But first, today is sober day 24, alcohol free, carrot juice boy, still on the grizzle for all my nizzles representing that soberness. The dream was dope, because my dream was a mix between my iWatch and the movie Blade […]

Day 25 | Gindungo: 10 to go

Good day Mi Gente! I’m going to be a little bit personal with this post, and since today is Revelation Wednesday aka my social is today by the name of Kitaba, the Great Angolan Peanut Butter. I was having a funny and hard Angolan debate with my brother Nunes Da Costa last night on Facebook. […]

Day 26 | Bonus Post

Good midnight Mi Gente. It’s with a lot of pride that I tell you that the first real freedom is happening right now. When I was in Portugal, I was talking to my brother from another mother Mr David Hernandez, an amazing promoter of kizomba from New York. We hadn’t seen each other for a […]

Day 26 | Gindungo: 9 to go

Allo Mi Gente, good morning, I know it’s not really good morning, but I feel asleep in Montreal, but I woke up in New York, New York, bitcheeeeeeeeeeeeeees. It is the officially first day out of Canada, and let me tell you, my DM blowing! I feel like I came out of jail. And everybody […]

Day 26 | NYC Subway Saga

The stupidest subway system in the entire universe. First of all, there is a lady sitting at the booth, giving you instructions to go work with a machine that has 600 buttons on it and looks like a fucking Japanese robot. The lady in the booth is extra rude, with a majestic moustache. After I […]

Day 27 | Gindungo: 7 days to go

Oh my god! I just opened up my eyes and realized I woke up away from Montreal. It’s day 27 of soberness and smoking free and I believe my biggest challenge was yesterday, because my biggest drink uber friend my Jack Daniels old school friend Mr Javi was there and all my New York people […]

Day 27 | NYC Subway Saga, part 2

My second day on the metro. At my favorite stop, next to my airBnB palace.  I think it’s gonna go much better. The cops are right there and the folks behind me are waiting to get into the metro for free.99. Everybody’s paying because they see the cops. I didn’t use the Japanese machine, but […]

Day 27 | NYC Subway Saga, part3

After leaving my taco spot, the city was a little windy, windy, windy. Not really cold, but windy. I was walking around looking for something to buy and I saw Aldo and then I saw H&M. And I was like “fuck H&M”, remember when they put the picture of the coolest monkey in the jungle […]

Day 28 | Bye Bye New York City

Bye bye New York City. I will see you soon. Thank you for the hospitality and accommodation and of course your quality of lifestyle. The city that never sleeps, the good the bad and the ugly and especially the rough on the outside and soft on the inside of these people. When you look at […]
