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.

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.

La Frekuencia photoshoot

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
