This record, Ritmo & Blues features not only a fine collection of charts, but also a fabulous list of musicians and guest artists, including the superb vocalist, Joe Bataan as well as singers Candi Sosa and Estaire Godinez, and the eponymously named Mighty Echoes. He accompanies his father as well as the rest of ensemble with splendid empathy and musicianship. His undying love for his instruments is evident in every stroke every tap, chop and slap that produces a myriad of notes in a variety of accents and with sublime dynamics at all times that the music is played. His wrist and hand drops firmly and with barely discernably pressure on the timbales and he employs all of his skills on other percussion. His fingers, from index to pinky, his thumb and its mound and his whole palm are-by turns-all engaged in caressing and thundering across the skins of the congas. Matos is a percussion colourist like few musicians coming out of the Latin-American world. Matos is the spine of the record along with his son, Jud. Again, it is not merely in the title-a telling one, no doubt-but in every chart on the record.
His music on the 2014 recording, Ritmo & Blues backs up all of this in splendid fashion. Matos does not merely end there, with the pedagogical statement. Clave motivates both the idioms of jazz as well as Latin music, that is, it can be heard in the rhythms of jazz and is, of course, front and centre in Afro-Caribbean music. There has been an almost interminable confluence between New Orleans and the Caribbean. As is evident the African connection is common to both. But they have spent a lot of time together over the last year and a half and want to stay friends despite going their own way.įollowing the release of “Señorita”, Camila and Shawn were seen being extra friendly with one another, but no official confirmation of their relationship was released until much later.The percussionist Bobby Matos makes a point about the intrinsic connection between Afro Caribbean and Afro-American music.
