Episode 14: Music Maven Juan Carlos

Episode 14 of the Mavens Do It Better Podcast features Juan Carlos, master Flamenco guitarist and musician.  

Juan Carlos and Heather caught up at Triana Tapas and Flamenco in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Triana serves up the energy and rhythm of Spanish Flamenco. The savory, sweet, and spicy flavors in authentic tapas and Juan Carlos and his excellent dancers were a night not to forget.
