I’ve noticed a trend in reggaeton criticism lately that I totally disagree with. It seems like the only time a reggaeton artist is praised is if they do anything other than reggaeton, or attempt to stretch the genre as far from its origins as possible. If an artist incorporates other genres and rhythms and [...]

Wow, what a night. Dancing until 3am AFTER the clocks had been set back an hour. People didn’t want to leave either. Sorry about not being able to get around to the “Kalion Ka Chaman” request. The workers need to rest! I am glad that someone suggested Nazia Hassan (and [...]

I performed at a wedding recently. In fact, that performance has been an extreme focus of mine for the last several weeks. When I agree to perform at a wedding I become monomaniacal in my attempts to make sure I own and am familiar with every piece of music that I view as [...]

Yeah, I know, it’s been a while. Haven’t really been in the mood the few times that I’ve actually had available to write. My string of technical mishaps fortunately ended before the San Francisco gigs. I was afraid I might be able to work my magic on the plane. We arrived [...]
