on by

Hola!! Hope you are having a great week!!

After an amazing tourkick-off at “Laberintos” album release show, Urbe Prima will be visiting House of Blues New Orleans.

This will take place this Friday, and needless to say the excitement is growing. NOLA is an international music center, and I can’t wait to sing for their amazing people! If you live in New Orleans, come by Big Mama’s Lounge on Friday evening, it is a free event and I will be playing all of the Urbe Prima repertoire!

Also, if you are a food enthusiast and happen to be in the New Orleans area, you should check out the Southern Fried Swamp Fest: Traditional and Non-traditional fried food will be featured, along with Cajun music in the Swamp Exhibit, lots more music on the Capital One stage, and animal presentations and crafters. More info @ http://www.auduboninstitute.org/southern-fried-swamp-fest

Big thanks to House of Blues for this awesome opportunity, I am looking forward to share my music with you all!

 

Laberintos Album Release Show

on by

Hello all, hope you had an amazing weekend!

Well, what can I say? What words could describe what I felt last Friday? How can I express how happy I felt surrounded by such an amazing group of people in such an amazing place?

This is my best attempt:

Indeleble memories, waves of energy: an unapologetic smile in the face of adversity. 
An ocean of luminescence, a peek into the infinite, where time is motionless: an undeniable echo.

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone who had a part in helping build this wonderful event:

You, the wonderful audience! Without you there is no show; the Tacatantán Records Family: Abdías Ernesto García, Abe Otero, Carolina Suarez-García; my amazing friend and visual artist Reina Castellanos; the remarkable photographic eye of Rosa Villoslada; Yamilet Trujillo, Hugo Luquis, Marcela Garcés and Meche Ausina, thank you for honoring me by joining me on the stage and for helping me build “Laberintos”; Adriana Romero, thanks for your kind words and help with the merch; Diana Jaramillo, thank you for all you do, your unflinching support, for being the muse, and for making every battle worth fighting for.

You, all of you made this night so special and unique! I will cherish this show and use it as fuel for what’s coming. Thank you for believing in my work. I can only promise I will keep working hard to bring you more music. There are quite a bit of surprises coming up!

As always, hank you so much for listening!! Have a great week!

Urbe Prima Prepares For Two Consecutive Album Releases!

on by

Hello!

I know I have been away for a while, but it has been for a good reason:

Along with Laberintos, I will also be releasing an acoustic album that I have been working on with Tacatantán Records’s Abdías Ernesto García as the producer. This record will bring an interesting contrast to the more electronic dimension of Laberintos, and most importantly will bring more new music to you guys!

I will update you on the release dates for both albums, as well as the album release show for Laberintos.

Also, please stay tuned! More exciting news are on the way!

Thanks for your support!

 

 

Urbe Prima @ The Venue

on by

Last Friday, March 1st, at his album release, Abdías Ernesto García said that there are a myriad of things that must link together in order for a moment to take place: every instant is, indeed, a miracle of sorts.

That night, I started reflecting upon the chain of circumstances that had to materialize so that I could be a part of such an amazing event, where I had the honor to share my songs with such a receptive audience, and then later back up Abdías in his set. I felt so honored and happy to be surrounded by my friends, many of who, I consider family. The unique energy of everyone was my fuel as the show developed into an unforgettable chain of genuine moments, a series of those ‘miraculous’ instants.

To download Abdías Ernesto García’s new album, Mas Colores Y Menos Horrores, just visit www.abdiasernestogarcia.com. It is the work of a true artist and an exceptional human being.

Special thanks to Yamilet Trujillo, Marcela Garces, and Hugo Luquis, for sharing the stage with me, it was a privilege to have sing by your side!

Here is a little summary of Urbe Prima’s set that night:
