Recently had the honor of playing drums with an “Old School Player from the Himilaya’s”
Mr. Perri White
So I searched my music archives and found a Jem I would like to share named “Psycho Strut”
Perri, Nate Bach (Trumpet) and Stalin Murga (Bass) were walking to the bar and I was returning and they asked…
When are we gonna play some music again? I said, Right Now!
Recorded and mixed this crazy jam that night. Hope you like it!
Funktropolis was written and recorded on the spot by Tim Pacheco and I.
Tim said, Let’s write something along the lines of Parliament Funkadelic
Tim played bass, I played drums, we recorded the rhythm section then Tim added layers of instruments: Keys, Guitar, Special Effects.
Paul Lopez of the band “Cumbia Machine” played Cowbell, Congas and Timbales
Nazareth Pratt & Tim Pacheco – Lyrics and Vocals on Funtropolis
Meen Green – Rapper on Second Song
Jose Juan Maldonado – Drums and Recording
*We did 2 songs that day and decided to join them as one.
Enjoy!
Jose
Played drums for Los Able Minded Poets
Here we are at Humphrey’s Backstage after Winning Best Hip Hop Band award at the SDMusic Awards in 2004
When I was a kid I bought a cassette at Thrifty’s because it had Drumsticks on Velvet.
That album is “The Best of Billy Cobham” and had the song’s; Pleasant Pheasant, Stratus, Red Baron, and such incredible drumming, truly inspirational.
Here is my old band playing my arrangement of “Red Baron and Stratus”
*Recorded on a Boombox Cassette with Bandana Filter 😉
even though the quality is not high, I just love the interaction with the musicians,
