Jose Amador in El Hijo Prodigo
El Hijo Prodigo tells the story of a man’s return to his native Puerto Rico after an absence of 22 years. He is soon reunited with—and beguiled by—the history and culture of the island state he once called home. This five-day headlong rush into his ancestral community culminates with the chance for him to face his life, home and family and see them for what they really are. A journey through the island’s music, mores, legends, people and traditions, El Hijo Prodigo brings to life the joys and sorrows of a Commonwealth barely 1100 miles from our shores.

Mi hermano, me encanto. Felicidades y espero que todo te vaya bien!
I’m still trying to find the song… “if you happen to have them on, give them a good scrub, don’t you understand …” hilarious stuff.

Gracias, Ruben!
The song “Tango” is on the Haciendo Punto en Otro Son self-titled album, which, I think is out of print, with no cd’s available. Hit Amazon or ebay and see if you can get the vynil (I got mine through ebay – much cheaper than the one CD I did find, by about $300).
Once I had the vynil, I had a friend transfer it over to digital.
Good luck, and thanks again!
