HUELLAS DEL TIEMPO
Huella's del tiempo a new era of Bachata
I was invited to an HDT rehearsel and I must say these guys are keeping the ball rolling in a positive manner *Aventura's Lenny knows how to pick em*
HDT (Huellas del tiempo)Live reminded me of the peace you can only find in the Dominican Republic on a cloudless, warm summer day. They were Anthony Santos, Luis Vargas, Raulin with a hint of American Rock, Jazz, Hip Hop and Reggae (Pretty weird huh? they pull it off perfectly).
These guys are No Glam! So that was a plus, they're all about MUSIC THANK GOD a BAND I can relate too. I enjoyed listening to them. Brought back some of that old school feel, the way you felt the first time you heard your first favorite bachata (which ever that may be).
On synthesizer you will find Negra Pola: A person who to me is the most complete musician and one of the humblest individuals I've had the pleasure of meeting: the dude plays guira like no one I've seen, bass, tambora, bongos piano, sings chorus etc etc ...
On guitar you will find Perro: who was quite but was also amazing on guitar, he did not miss a step
Veneno bass: his name says it all "El mas peligroso" he's a lot of fun to just hear, very creative, and a very nice guy.
Mikey (requinto): he's a legend in his own right for us kids in Queens; I basically almost threw up all over myself when I heard him play; nasty stuff kids. Plus he is a clown and an entertainer had all of us laughing, but also maintained a strict and buiness like rehearsel work came first.
J.D: who I met for the first time tonight had me laughing all thru the practice, a really nice guy and very humble, but the best part is that he sounds just like the C.D very impressive because these guys use a variety of notes and his flexibility is to be
admired.
I'm really proud as a musician and as a Latino that these guys are being able to follow there dreams because these guys truly deserve it.
