Yeah, because, you know, remember, I came to age... Put some respect on your music name, Felix.

Well, you know, remember, I came of age listening to music in the 70s where, you know, lead guitar players were the gods, were the big deal.
voice-verified
sometimes even more so than the lead singers.
voice-verified
So I'm always a sucker for these kind of guitar grooves, these long jams, these things, but with this curious, very interesting, a lot of fun rhythmic interplay underneath.
voice-verified
You know, I actually played with him a few years ago, many years ago, pre-pandemic here in D.C., and I've watched him grow and develop, and he's become this very, very expressive and creative player.
voice-verified
But the song also reflects this really cool scene that's happening in the Bay Area
voice-verified
Which has always been the case, even when I was living in California and going to hear music and playing stuff up there.
voice-verified
Like everybody plays with everybody in different genres, different styles.
voice-verified
It sort of reminds me very similar to what happens in Puerto Rico when people cross pollinate from different genres and styles.
voice-verified
The same thing happens in the Bay Area, the East Bay, Oakland, San Francisco, all over the place.
voice-verified
And Camilo's one of these guys that's played with a lot of different bands.
voice-verified
Like I said, he was playing with La Doña, and she had a, oof, that thing was like Afro-Cuban, cumbia, it was all kinds of stuff, and he was right there nailing it the whole time.
voice-verified
This track includes the conga player from Santana, Carl Perazo, laying this really funky kind of Afro-Cuban thing underneath.
voice-verified
You know, when he sent me the track, I just immediately like, oh, I got to find a place for this.
voice-verified
The other thing about this is that it's also produced by Greg Landau, who's his uncle.
voice-verified
He's a very important figure in the rock and Espanol movement in San Francisco in the early 90s.
voice-verified
He produced a lot of pioneering music in the 90s, in the early days of rock and Espanol in California.
voice-verified
That is a track called Descarga Roqueada, and the artist is Camilo Landau, Camilo y los Cruzers.
voice-verified
That's what we do on the show here every week, man.
voice-verified
Yeah, they're too similar.
