Influences
All the way from the Beatles, Chuby Checker, and all the rock and roll musicians of the 1960s.
The Fania artists such as Larry Harlow, Ismael Miranda, Eddie Palmieri, Bari Rogers, Richie Ray and Bobby Cruz, Jose Luis Monero Orchestra and Babo Jimenez Orchestra. I've been influenced by musicians from all the South American Countries and West African Nations. I did extensive touring in these countries and received amazing teaching from all these great musicians I met during my trips to South America, West Africa, the Caribbean and Europe.
Sounds Like
My band has an very original and authentic Salsa/Merengue sound. I specialized in Afro-Cuban and Classic Salsa. We have "Sabor" and the fans love the arrangement we do of covers as well as my originals.
The originals are an eclectic mix of Afro-Cuban, Jazz, R&B arranged with a big band style harmony. Lots of counter-point and rich melodies and choruses.

Hello, my friend. Another Tankism to brighten your week. Hope it helps :)
Look at life from the perspective of what you have NOW, what you are grateful for NOW. If you continue to look into the PAST as to what you have lost, when you open your PRESENT, you will not like what you get. However, by focusing firmly on where you are directing your FUTURE by thinking on those things which are good and pure and what you do want to happen, as you unfold your PRESENT, you will find the gift that you know you really want. And, it really is that simple. As a wise person once said: If you believe you can't, you're rightif yet if you believe you CAN, you're right. What do you believe? :)
