Arr Ra Ra Vibrant and Hot Fito Garcia's "Christmas" CD Release


I am uber excited that my friend Fito Garcia, juno-award winning musician is hosting a Fito Garcia's "Christmas" CD Release Reception and  Marlin Ramazzini,  fabulous singer with a voice to kill is also featured on a track.

You are invited to have a warm drink, appies, hang out and celebrate this new festive recording. My third week of epic birthday celebration. Parrot  Baby Picasso will mistaken Fito as Santa.  


Christmas must be here because I already feel the festivity though Halloween is coming up for this Outrageous October.  


I'm sure I won't be resist to infectious rhythm, my feet will be dancing to live music.  If you don't know how, ask me.  I will teach you some Salsa and Cha Cha Cha.  Shall we dance?


Christmas is the second album by Guatemalan Bass Player Fito Garcia. This album includes 11 cover tunes perfomed in several layers of Bass Guitar and upright Bass in true Cuban Style, all of these backed by percussionist Luis "El Pana" Tovar from Venezuela on Timbales, Congas and Bongos, and graced by singers like Marlin Ramazzini, Carlos Cascante and Miguelito Valdez.

All arrangements of these traditional Christmas songs, brought to you by Garcia, who managed to transform with great eloquence old songs, and made them modern and driven by bright rhythmic patterns that invite to move and dance.

The track God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen is a testament to modern Timba with it's fresh harmony and intertwined melodic rhythms that resemble an electric guitar.

Also in true Afro-Cuban tradition, Carol of the Bells features Israel "Toto" Berriel and Mario Allende on Bata drums, in contrast to all other songs on the album.

Silent Night features Marlin Ramazzini on traditional Guatemalan percussion, making this track a smooth Mayan sounding "Son Chapin". Winter Wonderland comes through as a tasty Cha Cha Cha that features Kerry Galloway on the Bass Melody and Solo adding a new bass color to the rest of the album performed by Garcia.

This album is filled with Jazz overtones as shown on O Tannenbaum and most melodies and complex harmonies of the work presented. It is an extraordinary listening delight, that will put a smile
on your face during the Christmas Season.

Build Your Wings On The Way Down

If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never
have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be cynical.
Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build
your wings on the way down.  ~ Ray Bradbury

Be brave enough to live creatively. The creative is the place where no
one else has even been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and
go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you will discover will be
wonderful. What you will discover will be yourself.

Until next adventure ...
Love & dance with passion,
Raymondo

They had an early "blast" before the fireworks officially started last year. And I didn't know it, ended up staying up all night, looking for Baby Picasso until next morning. Yes, sexy time!

How did you celebrate your firework nights, boys & girls?
