  • Bio

    .. .... Founded in SF's Mission district in 2004 by Israel Matos, Manicato has found a way to combine its social and musical influences into a hard-hitting form of intelligent dance music that feeds both body and mind. The word Manicato, derived from the Native People of Puerto Rico known as The Taino, means a bold and valiant person of a good heart. The band Manicato lives up to this Taino ideal with it's socially conscious lyrics backed by a mixture of Salsa, Timba, Reggae, Hip Hop, and Rock . Featuring one of the only father and son vocal sections in the city, hard hitting horn lines, and a rythm section that will force you to dance, Manicato will have you speaking in one of the oldest languages, the universal language of music, feeding your mind, body, and soul. .. .. .. .. .... ................ .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .. ........ .. .. .. ..

    Moving on and turning out the lights...
    MySpace Clearance: Florida's online guide to live jazz & blues info is leaving MySpace.
    Hello MySpace Friend!
    Jazz & Blues Florida is bailing out of MySpace and focusing on our own websites now. We thought Facebook was the way to go, but now it looks like that is disintegrating, too.
    If you really want to connect to Florida's jazz & blues scene come check out our main site at www.JazzBluesFlorida.com and if you like what you see, shoot me an email and let me know  you want to sign up for our email list. You can opt for daily, weekly or monthly contact and change your mind at any time.
    If you are musician based or touring here, our listings are free - we just need to know about them. Use the email address below to send us the info.
    I am sure you understand the value of these connections and that nowadays providing that connection is your contribution to what keeps us going, like the money you used to spend on newspapers.  This is a one-time request. We will be deleting your MySpace connection after we send this out so you will not be hearing from us again here. 
    See you on the other side, where the good music is happening! Please excuse us if you are already over there, we had to do this as auto as possible due to the high number of friends we have to process.
