Day 59 | Almost Home and Nostalgic

Kudos to Andrea, a friend of a friend, that hooked up Dr Kizomba with a gold classic digital Casio watch #mykindagift. Of course I slept wearing the watch and it would beep every hour scaring the shit outta me. Last night, I feel asleep on the couch, cuddling my vodka watermelon, watching my new love, […]

Day 60 | Montreal, Are You Ready?

The struggle is over, the fun was necessary. 60 days of tears, joy and celebration. I had my last bacalhau at the airport and I took a piece with me just to be sure before I land to have a snack. I’ll close my eyes as I eat it and reminisce about my crazy experience […]

Day 56 | Montreal Is Calling

Woke up today to the sound of pigeons. 🐦Thank you so much for messages from yesterday’s post. Real ppl really understood what I’ve been going through, and reacted in a positive way. Today is a new day, a new dawn, a new life 🎼. It’s the last Muketo afternoon party on a roof. I’m gonna […]

Day 1 | New Home, New Routine

Mi Gente! #stuckinlisbon, one of the biggest experiences of my life, ended with the scariest flight ever. Yesterday, your boy was supposed to land in Mtl at 3pm. But the plane was late. So then we were supposed to land at 4pm. But there was a crazy thunderstorm happening in Mtl at 4pm. The plane […]

Day 4 | Jet Lagged

Damn. The jet lag is killing me. Waking up in a new apartment as well, I’m out of the comfort zone. Feeling like a total stranger in my city. Your boy wanted to go out to Baila con Gusto last night but by the time I had my clothes on I was too tired. I […]

Day 6 | Sleeping Beauty

Mi Gente, today is beautiful day, last night was a beautiful night. I spent yesterday playing video games and got a surprise visit from Kimmy & Mathias, Kizomba Canada’s cutest mini-couple. Your doctor even stayed awake long enough to make it to Moka Salsa social. 😴 Your boy is off to give a private to […]

Day 10 | New Project

Your boy fell asleep in Mtl, woke up in TO. I came to visit my sister and my mini-me, my little nephew Junior in the six, my old city. Missed my fam after 60 days #stuckinlisbon. Nothing much has changed here but damn, what an expensive city! 💸Gonna hang out with my homies, and then […]

Day 12 | Vacation’s Over

I like the buildings in TO, they give me a real concrete jungle feeling. 🏙 It felt good to see old friends. Went to see my dancehall queen champion Lily Vibes. My boy Shotta Biggz! In high school we did real things 🤐😅. Saw my boy Todd Rose. Today is your boy’s last day of […]

Day 13 | Yeh!

Good morning, good evening, good night. Today is the first day I’m gonna drink Yeh coffee since #stuckinlisbon situation. 73 days! I’m gonna put that coffee in my mouth and turn up at our free open house starting in about an hour. ☕ Mtl, your boy Dr Kizomba is back and let’s have some fun!! […]

Day 16 | Back At It

Mi Gente. This week, I’ve been waking up with joy on my face. Sunday’s open house was off the charts! The people were enthusiastic, the instructors were on point. We had the very first of the Dsantos franchises come up to give us a hand aka Dsantos VT, under the leadership of Sarah Snow. I […]

Day 18 | Moda Mwangole

I got a skateboard! I love art, the images, and the holes at the bottom so I can grab it. Dope. Please Mi Gente. Come and celebrate tomorrow with your boy Dr Kizomba an amazing Kizomba Night, Moda Mwangolé! You already know… We are going to party. We are going to laugh. We are going […]

Day 21 | Sweat Life

Mi Gente! Thank you so much for the Welcome Back special edition of Kizomba Nights on Saturday. Was off the chain. Seeing new faces, students, colleagues, friends and people I’ve known for many years was doubly satisfying: I know that they are ok and they know I am ok. DJ Fofo Ja and DJ The […]
