Prodigio Claudio & Domingo tribute 2 Yomo Toro w/ Zon del Barrio

The people of the Bronx were filled with pride, joy, and tears on Saturday, July 27th, at the ceremony for a new street, YOMO TORO PLACE, located at 162nd Street between Ogden and Summit. Direct from Puerto Rico came another cuatro virtuoso, Prodigio Claudio, with his troubadour and guitarist, Domingo Rodriguez, who sang a décima that was visibly moving for everyone. Yomo's daughter, Denise Toro, enjoyed the serenade of strings and lyrics... A tribute to the great icon and king of the cuatro, Yomo Toro. Family, friends, celebrities, and politicians gathered at the corner of the Bronx in New York to celebrate the new street where Yomo lived for nearly 40 years, which now and forever bears the name of the humble countryman and human being. Initiated by the love of his daughter, Denise Toro, the community overflowed that day. Aurora and Zon del Barrio played Yomo Toro's favorite songs, accompanied by the virtuoso cuatro player Prodijio Claudio, who, along with his troubadour Domingo Rodriguez, traveled from Puerto Rico to be present at this historic event. Among those in attendance were friends of the cuatro player such as Larry Harlow, Jose Alberto, El Canario, Jose Mangual, Eddie Montalvo, Nicky Marrero, Bobby Sanabria, Frankie Morales, Angelo from Conjunto Modelo, and DJ Brian Martinez.
