The newest 'incarnation' of Los Romeros lives up to the standard set by the original four members (two of whom are still playing - Pepe and Celin). The substitution of Lito and Celino for Celedonio and Angel has brought new life and sparkle, while preserving the traditions and musicality.
The only complaint was the lack of a written program. On the other hand, it appears that the group was 'making it up on the fly' and deciding which piece to play when, so having no written 'menu' as Lito called it (he says he is always hungry) gave them, perhaps, more flexibility to go with the moment.
And what moments those were! Bravo!

Favorite moment: Duet by Pepe and Celin, bringing back memories of the original musicians, and the solo by Lito showing off the new torch bearer @
