A night of REGGAE, ROCKSTEADY and SKA with Mimi Maura at La Respuesta

Charisma, took the form of a woman last night at La Respuesta as singer songwriter Mimi Maura took the stage along with an all-star line up of musicians ranging from the likes of Sergio Rotman sax player for Los Fabulosos Cadillacs to Boris Bilbraut drummer from Puerto Rican reggae band Cultura Profetica. The audience enjoyed 2 fiery sets of REGGAE, ROCKSTEADY and SKA that kept them dancing throughout the night. Covering classics such as Bob Marley’s “Concrete Jungle” as well as showcasing Maura’s impressive work with her original songs from her “very hard to find albums” as she said humorously joking with the audience.
Special guests during the show included rock singer Fofe who performed a spell binding duet with Maura and Kianí Medina known for her work as back up singer for Cultura Profética. Also the brass section was completed with the participation of Johnny Boy Trombone player for Ska band La Fundación. Furthermore and to top the celebrations of the night the band surprised Maura with a very puerto rican version of the Happy Birthday song that fused the band and the audience together to congratulate Maura on her special day.
The show ended with two encores and very special a cappella rendition of an old cult classic “El Apartamento” dating from her years as lead singer from local band Alarma back in the early 90’s.
Mimi Maura currently resides between Puerto Rico and Argentina and has been awarded throughout her career recognitions such as PREMIO GARDEL 2002 for Best Solo Rock Performer. She has also toured Europe extensively being a veteran of such important festivals like the Actual Logroño Festival in Spain.

Van Valentine departed from a traditional rock band sound into a more organic and toned down performance for this show giving it space for the lyrics to bloom and showcase his singer song writing skills. A short but powerful set left the crowd wanting more and gave the a tease of whats next to come from this emerging artist.
Right around 30 past midnight the crowd started gathering again in front of the stage, people left the bar and close the gaps between band and audience to me one of the surprising factors of the night was witnessing first hand SuperAquello’s huge following and really hardcore fans. You can say that most of their songs were sing a longs since there was major interaction as they worked the crowd a 100% on Songs like “El Ornitorrinco” and “Entre las Patas”.
A big surprise for SuperAquello fans was that they got treated to an intimate screening of the documentary LA EMERGENCIA filmed by Gisela Rosario who spend almost 4 years following the band to dig deep and show a personal window into the creative process behind the band and showcase their personalities on and off the stage.
On the tech side when i was happy with the shots i got for the night. I went for broke and started experimenting with multiple exposures in a live show inspired by Zack Arias’s blog the results can be unreal.

the day started around 9 am I went to Aguada to find some screws for my soft box. Turns out that i was missing one screw when i tried to assemble it yesterday. Anyway I went to Tornilleria Matos and they hook me up with the right screw. After that we got together with the guys from La Frekuencia. Our plan was to shoot at the Arecibo Observatory unfortunately it wasn’t open to the public so we had to improvise. As we drove around Arecibo looking for spots to shoot we got to an old building I always wanted to shoot in so I mustered the courage to ask the guys that were working on the site if we can shoot there. Surprisingly they said yes and the rest is history i got to shoot without worries for about 2 hours. Im really happy with the outcome hope you guys like it
Check out the shoot here

I’ve never seen such a beautiful location. It was great to go outdoors and find an excuse to shoot. Great hike and awesome group. Our host Fotos Gallo from Cabo Rojo and their staff did an excellent job finding the location and keeping everybody safe in the outdoors. Sad thing was that i missed the sunrise guess I’m not a morning person nevertheless hope we can do this again guys it was lots of fun.

Punta Borinquen Golf Club

I was hired by Punta Borinquen Golf Club through my friend Luis from Adnet Group to do a series of stills to showcase the golf club’s attributes for their new upcoming website.
I was really amazed at the astonishing view this golf course has. First of all it sits on top of a cliff and on a sunny day you can view as far as Desecheo island including the whole Aguadilla coast providing a nice overview of the best surfing beaches in the area. Did I mention that there is a lighthouse beside the course. How cool is that !

We always hear about ghost stories and never think they are real because they live in an imaginary and unreachable world, until we find places in our realm that function as a crossroad for reality and fiction.

Tu eres la luz que difracta mi aura
y convierte en pedazos mi ansiedad sin calma,
densa y efimera
