New single: “Vendetta”

on by

Hola!!

Finally here it is Urbe Prima’s new single, “Vendetta”. This song was one of the songs out of the Laberintos EP, and one of the songs recorded along with the “Laberintos” album.

In this song, I had the privilege of working with percussionist Justin Sieger, and cellist Yamilet Trujillo. I hope you enjoy this new version of Vendetta released under Tacatantán Records.

 

 

This release is a preamble for this Sunday, July 14th show at the prestigious Timucua Arts White House, where I will be playing an acoustic set.

This is all for now.

Thanks for listening, see you soon!

The Impact of The Arts in The Community: Timucua Arts White House

on by

Hello!

Urbe Prima’s next show will happen at The Timucua Arts White House, one of the treasures of the city of Orlando, where music and art have a home for them to be, to truly be. I am very humbled to have the opportunity of sharing my songs in this venue, and wanted to give a little insight as to what you can expect on July 14th.

Here is a review by the Orlando Weekly on this remarkable place:

“The performance space in Benoit Glazer’s home is exquisite, from the brick walls around the stage to the seating balconies to the lighting on the visual artwork. Fill that with the noise of some of the best jazz, classical and experimental acts active today, and we can thank god the musical director for Cirque du Soleil and his musically prodigious family invite the public to share this gift for free.It’s a simple, classy gesture that keeps Orlando from being the cultural wasteland everyone thinks it is.”

Also, here is a TED-talk with The Timucua Arts White House’s founder, and musical director of Cirque de Soleil, Benoit Glazer, and his family, as they describe their fearless journey to create a place for music and art to be shared, all from their living room:

 

Hope this little write-up encourages you to support this amazing initiative! For more info on their upcoming events, just got to www.timucua.com

Hope to see you the 14th. Thanks for reading!

Orlando City Soccer Reaches New Heights

on by

Hola!!

Last Saturday, Urbe Prima had the privilege of playing a show at Florida’s Citrus Bowl, opening for the Orlando CS V.S. Fluminense game. It was a very joyful experience for me to see two of my passions, music and soccer, synch into a perfect harmony. The Orlando CS  has done a remarkable job bringing people together for the 2013 season games, including setting up a concert series, which showcases the talent of Orlando’s local bands.

But Saturday proved to be a great experience not only for Urbe Prima, but also for everyone involved. That night, Orlando City played and awesome game versus Fluminense FC in front of 11,127 fans at Fifth Third Bank Field at the Florida Citrus Bowl, an international friendly club record for attendance. The mark was previously set back in July of 2011 against the English Premier League’s Newcastle United with 10,889. The first half was pretty even and both teams displayed great game. And even though Orlando fell 4-3, the last minutes of the game were filled with excitement as Orlando came back from a score of 4-1, scoring twice in less than 10 minutes; moreover, the experienced gained by playing one of the best teams of Brazil was invaluable.

With this great gathering of Orlando soccer fans, i can’t wait to see what is in the horizon for Orlando City’s promising work.

I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank Chris Goyozueta, Emily Kopp, and all of the ONElive Music team for their support on this event, as well as the Orlando CS for their amazing campaign this season, as well as their support for local talent.

And of course, I want to also thank Yamilet Trujillo, Jj Pattishall, and Hugo Luquis for their contribution to my show, I could not have done it without you!

Check out some pictures of this event here.

Ok guys, once again thank you for listening and reading, and stay tuned for more Urbe Prima.
