Gonzalo,

My name is Kim Moskowitz and I would be glad to help you out in any way that
I can but I need your e-mail address.  I am a fluent spanish speaker and
have been teaching and performing Judaic music professionally for 15 years
now.  I live in a suburb of Los Angeles and have been to your wonderful
country two years ago in December.  We stayed for 10 days.  I was so
delighted to see this posting from a fellow musical Jew in Costa Rica!  My
e-mail address is Kim (at) sja(dot)com(dot)  Write soon in English or Spanish.  
Hasta que
me escribas.
