UN COMPARTIR DE BOMBA EN EL ESTUDIO DE GADDIER ROSARIO



Nos congregamos para poder tener un compartir navideño con Bomba Puertorriqueña, Música Jibara, Villancicos y parranda en el estudio de Gaddier Rosario. Fuimos convocado por Gaddy, asi le llamo yo y alli fuimos a parar. Comenzo la navidad, es tiempo de concientizar y dar gracias al todopoderoso por un año mas de vida, y mas aún vida compartidas con seres extraordinarios. Entre hermanos, familiares, artistas y hermosas pinturas pasamos una noche divina donde trabajamos para ser posible unos de los sueños de un gran PINTOR Y AMIGO.

La Bomba me tocó a mi y aqui esta un poquito de lo colectado. Cuando Gaddier venga con todo el montaje será para la historia.

Gracias Gaddy por invitarme hacer parte de tu equipo. Mi agradecimiento a los músicos Rene González(Repicador, Heshima Moja (Buleador), Ahmed González (Cua) y Lorena Garay (Maraca), todos ellos artistas de renombre Nacional e internacional que me acompañaron e improvisaron conmigo este regalito navideño, mas bien esta negricia Borinqueña... BOMBA EH...

Rene se especializa en Tumbadora y Bajo electronico, Heshima es un gran compositor, arreglista, cantante y Bajista, Ahmed es tremendo con la Flauta y Lorena es la Diva en Guitarra clásica y en el Cuatro Puertorriqueños. Un honor contar siempre con ellos.

Esta ejecución fue en Vivo e improvisional. O sea nada de Práctica. Esto fue con buenas vibras y emociones parpantes...al instante.... al igual que el video tomado por Waleska Santiago... SAVARA... ESPERO QUE LE GUSTE....
