Ah, we so wish we could have teleported to NYC to hear Bobbito/Laylo/Sake’s tribute to Fania Records.   He’s rocking the classic logo shirt from their new collection.  Photo is  by legendary photographer  Joe Conzo.  Check out  his collabo shirts with Sedgwick  & Cedar.

Bobbito just returned from a trip to Senegal where SEEDS Foundation invited him to coach clinics in four Senegalese cities over a three-day weekend.  It is part of its GROW THE GAME program which helps kids learn how to play ball and inspires them to choose education as a route to self-empowerment.  Read about his experience here.
