Whats the story ...Despojo



Despojo is a song that appeared out of nowhere.  Kinda trippy, right?
I was looking through my stack of sheet music and sketches and I stumbled upon this little piece of sheet music with a song called Despojo.
I grabbed the guitar and starting playing what was written and I was like "wow! thats a cool little melody!"
I had written (whenever I wrote the song) directions that said "Latin on A part" and then "Reggae on B part" so I pretty much kept my original directions on the arrangement.
The reality is that I don't remember writing this song, maybe I was in some sort of trance?? Or maybe I just have a really bad memory.

Below is El Pueblo playing Despojo live at Southpaw. Kevin Sherman on Bass and Paquito Cruz on Sax.
I animated the audio track with some cool images.

What's the story ... Tamarindo


The melody of this song just kinda came to me while I was in Costa Rica at Playa Tamarindo; hence the name.
Tamarindo is a beautiful beach in the Pacific side of Costa Rica with some of the most amazing sunsets I've ever seen.
I was visiting with some friends and the melody just kinda came to me (like most music I write), and it pretty much became my own personal soundtrack for the trip.
The melody is definitely very feel-good and laid back just like the trip was.
I  wanted to have the melody very early in the song and thats why the bass plays it at the beginning of the song.
When you  hear this track you're hearing Mike Montgomery on his upright.  We're super happy to say that Mike is back with El Pueblo here in NYC, he's now playing his electric bass.

check out the tune, and if you dig it, download it for free !

The Pier . org



We got some Exclusive free downloads going-on right now at The Pier

You can now get both "Cabarete" & "Tatica's Town" for free exclusively at ThePier.org

While you're there make sure to check out their site for a huge collection of free mp3's as well as artist interviews, videos, album reviews and plenty more.

The Pier is the place to be and we are honored that they put our music up.

get it here:
A little info on the tracks:

"Cabarete" is a beach in the north coast of the Dominican Republic.  I (robert) was there visiting with some friends and the melody came to me while walking on the beach in the late afternoon. I kept humming it until I got to our place and was able to record it on my little recorder and when I got back to the States was able to finish the entire song.

I don't actually remember writing "Tatica's Town." I think is one of those songs that just kinda pop-up and you find it on a piece of music-paper with a melody in it that you know you wrote, but don't actually remember writing it.  I do know that "Tatica's Town" is about Higuey; the small town I grew up in the East of the Dominican Republic.

7/8 at Shrine

It was a rainy night and the Shrine was not as packed as it usually is on a friday night but the fyah was definitely on !
We had an amazing time playing a pretty rocking set that included 2 guest singers.
Poor Mike (bass) fell of his bike just a couple of days before the show and he fractured two fingers in his right hand, luckily the break did not affect his Index and Middle fingers so he was still able to bring the fire that he always brings on the bass.
This is also the first show back with Mike since 2006 !
Everybody played a great show and perhaps more importantly had a great time.
The audience at the Shrine definitely showed their love on that tip bucket so many thanks to them !
We'll be back at Shrine in Sept.

Below is the set list for the show:

El Pueblo Jam
Morning Glory
Water Get No Enemy
* Babylon System Slave
* The Ocean
** It's a Pity
