Influences
Carnales, if you haven't heard Joel Guzman's and Sarah Fox's new CD
"Latinology," get it and prepare yourself for a musical viaje that goes
beyond barrios and borders with influences that range from blues and
rock, to vallenato, reggae, gospel, and other Latin
American-tinged rhythms. Joel is without a doubt one of the premier
Chicano accordionists and musicians working today and Fox displays her
songwriting as well as her dynamic vocal talents on this CD.
"Joel and Sarah are a spicy mix of fire and water with enough steam to drive a locomotive" - Joe Ely
Fox's debut album "Short Stories" (Hightone Records) produced by Los Lobos, Steve Berlin, had been a decidedly Jazz Folklorico effort, in contrast Latinology features a guitar driven band and shows the work of producer Joel Guzman blending all things Latin; cumbia,rumba with blues, soul, gospel, funk and rock with amazing fluidity. This collection of 12 originals features the songs of fiery bi-lingual vocalist and composer Sarah Fox, known for her expressive voice and the unique accordion artistry of Guzman.
"Aztex is a solid crew whose debut is an excellent voodoo fusion of tropical rhythms, roots music and bluesy tunes covering pretty much the same territory and more as Los Super Seven's folk roots outing last year. Like Los Super Seven's work, this 11-track collection of fresh and engaging bilingual tunes simply doesn't fit any preconceived radio formats."- Ramiro Burr, Music Reporter, San Antonio, Texas
Latinology features special guests John Dee Graham, slide guitar master Stephen Bruton and Latin Jazz guitarist Mark Towns. Behind the hard driving pulse of Latinology are drummers' Cougar Estrada, George Sluppick, Mike Longoria. with Rey Arteaga and Phil Bass sharing percussion duties. Formerly known as Aztex, Joel Guzman & Sarah Fox have toured Spain, France and Italy.
"Singer-Composer Sarah Fox and accordionist Joel Guzman deliver one of the year's intriguing albums, Latinology, by reaching deep into the ocean of Latin and other influences. The cumbia-rumba-tejano-conjunto-soul-funk-gospel-rock sound is as seamless as water."-Bob Geddie, Buddy Magazine
In the U.S they have been invited to perform at the Kennedy Center, Washington D.C, The Lincoln Center (NYC) The Arena (Seattle, WA) and the annual Festival International (Lafayette,LA). After the release of Grammy Award winning Super Seven RCA/Nashville in 1999, Guzman & Fox's band Los Aztex joined the late Freddy Fender, Joe Ely, David Hidalgo and Cesar Rosas at The Bowery (NYC), House of Blues (L.A) and the Conan O'Brian show. Most recently both artists were invited to perform for Lydia Mendoza at San Antonio's Esperanza Center and "Road to Austin" with performances with Stephen Bruton, Bonnie Raitt and Kris Kristotofferson. Their debut album "Latinology" hits stores January, 2007.
"Joel Guzman is going to be a Chicano Traveling Wilbury."-David Hidalgo, Los Lobos

Joh 3:5 Jesús respondió: En verdad, en verdad te digo que el que no nace de agua y del Espíritu no puede entrar en el reino de Dios.
Lo que es nacido de la carne, carne es, y lo que es nacido del Espíritu, espíritu es.
No te asombres de que te haya dicho: "Os es necesario nacer de nuevo."
El viento sopla donde quiere, y oyes su sonido, pero no sabes de dónde viene ni adónde va; así es todo aquel que es nacido del Espíritu.
Joh 3:5 Jesus answered,Verily, verily, I sayG unto thee,Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh;and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth every one that is born of the Spirit.
