Lake Atitlan Stories


Last gig with my Blues Band in Panajechel

Posted in On Lake Atitlan by Jopa on the March 17th, 2007

Over the last few months I have been playing music with a blues band in Panajechel, Guatemala on Lake Atitlan. The musicians are Kevin on guitar and vocals, he is our fearless leader. Slick on hamonica and vocals he has been playing with Kevin for several years. Mike on bass guitar. And of course me, Jopa on drum set.

This first band picture is Kevin on the left playing guitar and Slick on the right playing harmonica, me in the back on drums.

Next we have a pic of Mike on the Bass, Kevin on Guitar and me in back on drums.

And here we have me kickin it on the drum set, this is a total POS drumset, but here on Lake Atitlan there is not much music equipment, so we are happy to have a drumset at all.
