Mimi Maura, originally uploaded by kx0101.

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.

Habitat 2009 photoshoot

Habitat, originally uploaded by kx0101.

Wow! how time flies. It was just last year when I shot these guys for the first time. cool info for the gear heads i got a new camera!!. Got myself a canon 5dmark2 and I’m the process of selling my old equipment (d90)because of the upgrade.

What a great excuse to go out there and shoot than to test some new equipment in the field. Just a couple of heads up for those interested in this new cam. What i found really hard in this camera is to focus because it doesn’t have a AF assist beam on camera you have to buy the proprietary flash or as i did find someone close or with the band to point a flashlight to where you want to focus. Nevertheless once you got it is all bliss and beauty.

Logobeat promo video filming

Logobeat-0134, originally uploaded by kx0101.

Somewhere in the town of Aguada, Puerto Rico strange sounds are rumbling. Can you hear it! It’s not just a beat it’s Logobeat! Hung out with them last night while they were filming their promo video directed by multi-talented artist Mikey Figueroa (Somvazio_guitar). I couldn’t resist the opportunity to grab the camera to take some shots. Specially when they borrowed me a fish eye lens from the equipment they were using to film. Cool stuff! I’ve never shot with that kind of lens before. It was surprising to me the fact that when I was developing the photos all I was thinking was, “Damn! I think I nailed that 90’s grunge look. You can bet I’ll definitely will put one of these babies on my Christmas list.

Danny Frati Celli Music Video_Capricho de Tenerte

Danny Frati Celli, originally uploaded by kx0101.

Finished shooting the music video for Danny Frati Chelli’s song “Capricho de Tenerte” Directed by Andres Ramirez all the video was shot using the Nikon d90 on 3 locations. We were very happy with the film look achieved however we had to work around it’s limitations which at the time seemed quite many: sensor overheat, rolling shutter among others, I guess that’s the price we have to pay to make great imagery until technology moves forward and make the next leap. Overall is a great camera but if you are running a big production or are on a timely budget don’t use it or have a spare one. Just my opinion.
