: : The November 17 date for that concert has been public for at least a couple of months and certainly well before the Boston Congress added its third/Sunday night. A pointless conflict, but hardly World Music's doing...

: Who actually is "World Music"?

: We were told it was switched, from the prior weekend. Also, we checked around for the Congeso weekend anyway, and didn't find any conflicting events, meaning on that weekend. Had we known, we would have sought to combine with them. As it stands we were called one day out of the blue by Avive about PRP and it all worked out since we were thinking about bringing in a band anyway.

Word Music is a well known and well respected Boston area non profit org that brings music and dance acts from around the world. They are based in Central Sq. Cambridge. In the past they have brought Los Van Van to the Roxy and some other Cuban Musicians from Buena Vista Music club. The Ruben Blades concert was on their seanonal mailing a few months ago for the 17th, but they don't promote in the same cirles as other latin events and promotions since most of their shows do not take place in night clubs and may attract a different crowd.
