I had the pleasure of dancing with Mama when they were located on Ming. She had a love for music and dancing. Tosca had a great sense of humor, and enjoy a good story.

Our condolences to the family. Mama was the spirit of the restaurant that touched so many people. I´ll always remember that mama called me oregana instead of Erika since the first day I met her. Also, that she loved to dance to the live band when Mama´s was at the original location on Ashe. Mama definitely had her moves.
