Lu Hefner Pays Tribute to His Panamanian heritage at Panamanian Parade In New York!!

If you or may not know Lu Hefner is of Panamanian decent even though he is only half that does not stop him from paying tribute to his nationality. Hefner took himself to Franklin Ave. in Brooklyn where this parade took place October 12th. Brooklyn has been changing over the years with new chic and trendy shops popping up here and there. One thing that seems to never change is the annual Panamanian parade where marching bands come up from parts of the USA and from Panama. A visit to Franklin Ave. wouldn't be the same without stopping at Kelso’s for some delicious Panamanian food to enjoy. The loud banging of the drumline and the blaring trumpets called everyone within hearing distance to come out and celebrate Panamanian pride and culture. The Panamanian Veterans Marching Band started the parade off dressed in their sharp blue and white uniforms and soon followed by community groups. It’s always great to see the tradition and culture passed on from generation to generation. Ballet Folklorico had the cutest kids dressed in their polleras while the adult ladies showed off the intricate dresses. Then the crowd was treated to El Hogar Banda from Panama. They were very good and were soon followed by a group dancing to typical Panamanian music and a float with the beauty queen in a highly decorated costume. The best part of the parade started when the marching band from Maryland made their way up the parade route followed colorful costumes of the Ballet Folklorico Panamena. Arguably the best band to appear was the Banda Christana with their skillful baton twirlers and energetic drummers and bugle corp. They crowd loved them. Closing out the parade was the local pride of Brooklyn. The Panamanian Drum and Bugle Corp. It was tough to say which one was better since they were both excellent and well rehearsed. The end of the parade route was by a local school were the parade VIPs were on stage and the different bands performed for them. That was a lot of fun. As I made my way towards Eastern Parkway, the aroma of good food was all over the place. Everyone there was ready for the after parade party festivities…the good food and good music and good times. Hefner meet and greeted not only veterans from his country but big name politicians from there as well who took a liking to his very respectable manner in which he greeted them. Hefner is a great man especially of which who values culture especially his own. Stay tune for more on Hefner!!!
