DVD Review

Master percussionist Paoli Mejias belongs to a generation of artists who are redefining puertoricanness in musical terms with their artistry. Mixing diverse Afro-Caribbean styles with global rhythms, based upon traditional/popular puertorican music, bomba, plena, aguinaldo, and holding it all together within the realm of modern jazz, Paoli is at the forefront of creation of an exciting, recognizable sound.

  

While watching this concert, "Paoli Mejias de Jazzambia a Mi Tambor" three things come to mind.

 

1. The high level of musicianship of the performers, Paoli's band and special guests being featured. 

2. The high quality, technically speaking, of this superb high definition audio visual creation.

3. The remarkable fact that this is an independent production.

 

This shouldn't come as a surprise, as it's been the case with the three CDs previously released by Paoli Mejias. Truly a feast for the senses, "Paoli Mejias de Jazzambia a Mi Tambor" doesn't dissapoint at all, on the contrary, it does live up to the expectations of an increasingly demanding legion of discerning viewers/listeners. 

 

Paoli's followers, and I count myself in, couldn't be more delighted with this long-awaited live video recording.
