Band Members: actually theres no Band just a cru rockin rude styles 2getha wit Mr. T, Dan Salem, Paco Mendoza aka el Criminal, Maenki B, el Chapulin y el Duo Santo, Francia suelta la Music, dj Ara, ...
y todos los q llevamos en nuestros corazones, our babies, daughters'n sons, nuestros queridas y queridos, our manas y manos, our primas'n primos, and all the beloved ones we see wakin up, eatin, sleepin, dreamin, dancin, laughin'n cryin.
Influences: this is quite a big topic, actualy un monton de styles y bandas como la Fania (Hector "el Rey, la voz", Papo Lucca y la Sonora, Ray Barreto, Mongo Santamaria, Cheo Feliciano, ...) new Bands like Azabache, Ricky Gonzales, Son Boricua also Big Joe Bataan or mi KING Gil Scott Heron (I just call it morning from now on), Last Poets, Bobby Womack (How could you break mi heart) Oscar Peterson, Dexter Gordon, Ella ...
Also Eddie torres the Mambo King and his student Frankie Martinez left me with the idea of dancing. talkin bout literatura have 2 mention thomas manns death in venice (q libro!) y un parrafo en sus escrituras q es lo mas lindo q he leido ademas carpentier, cortazar, nicolas guillen y gottfried benn for mi basics
en theory i try hard to get monsieur michel le brain f., y sus descendents postcoloniales (from fanon to spivak and the rest) also mis prof.'s zeuske and finzsch/stieglitz and their concepts tienen su influencia en mis pensamientos cerebroticos
but i could go on for pages citin (or droppin?) names, makes no sense if you not read mi do's and writings
the most influential i consider mi sunshines
the big one in givin me the strehngth doin mi shit
and the small one llenando mi vida con tanto amor y risa y dejarme realizar q es responsabilidad
