DJ GREGO BRAZIL / ULTIMATE LATIN GROOVES
TRACK INFO:
1-Mi Corazon is a sexy Latin House overture. From my Woodstock & hippie
Years in the 70''s when I started working as a DJ, I was introduced to Ravi
Shankar’s Sitar sounds. The fusion influences come from Alan Parsons, Carole King,
Undisputed True, Norman Whitefield. The final part House & keys solo trip
were inspired by Emerson, Lake and Palmer & Rick Wakeman’s style,
progressive rock lessons... Welcome to the eletronic sounds with old school!!!
My partner, the master keys Jason Klein from Miami Music Authority,
we programmed this track using, MPC''s, 909, June, DX-7, Vintage Synths.
2-Beatutini Love Mix. Emmanuel Bournellis is my father, “a professor of
Theology”. He was a dedicated Orthodox Christian that woke me up every
Sunday morning at 7 o''clock to go to church. Gregorian Byzantine lyrics
still stay vividly in my mind. The praying message of beauty, faith and love
to the world from Carol Wojtila "Pope John Paul II" inspired my DJ & religious
sense to make this groove. This track is dedicated in memory ofthem...
