¡WEPA! Trio is back for the Latin Sessions season 10 kick-off! As the name suggests, Joey Sanchez is in the mix, holding down the bass lines, along with co-conspirators Bony Benavides on percussion and Neil Davis on guitar.

This group was founded by Joey, Niel and our late, great brother, Cecilio Negron, Jr. as CNJ Latin Jazz. Last week marked 3 years since his passing, and this series, in it's 10th year, is part of his legacy. Ceeloe always said, "to be continued." And here we are, keeping it going.
