What more can i say about this that I haven’t already said.
Music is, and i truly believe will always be my blood,
it makes my heart pump,
it can brings my blood to a boil,
make me sad and want to cry,
brings me true moments of clarity,
make me fall in love all over again.
As long as i can remember I have had a love for music,
growing up as the youngest child in my family,
I have to say i was very lucky.
My family introduced me to all sorts of music while i was young.
Hate to admit it,
but my parents even tried to make me into a
lil mariachi boy.
I even had the lil outfit, just ask my mom.
She would love to show you the pictures, lol
But yea, even as a kid,
I was introduced not only to listening to it
but playing it.
My father tried to introduce my brother and I
to playing acoustic guitar.
I do find it very unfortunate the lessons never stuck.
But the love for music and the inspiration never wavered.
My family listened to everything.
From my older sister I was introduced to 80’s music, the Cure, Twisted Sister, Depeche Mode, and many other Modern Rock artist of the 80’s.
From my brother i was introduced to more Modern Rock, Freestyle, and breaking. I still remember growing up in our old house having the linoleum tile in our garage.
All the neighborhood kids would come over and we would practice break dancing. Windmills, around the worlds, flairs, headspins. They were epic times.
Lol, omg and i used to have this Michael Jackson-esque jacket with the white glove. omg, So classic!
Even that too, I mean being inspired by a generation of true dance Idols.
Michael Jackson and his Moonwalker movie! I remember practicing his moves over and over in front of the TV.
Oh and don’t think my music styles and interests ended there. No way!
My parents made it a point to broaden our horizons. They introduced us very young to plays, orchestras, symphonies. Granted as a kid, I really wasn’t into them. But now i can still remember them and the music…
I still remember mornings growing up where my parents would use the Mexican alarm clock.
No, not a chicken though eventually we did end up getting on of those too. But not for that reason. lol
I digress yea my parents would wake up all of us by playing music super loud and have it boom through the house every weekend. Sleep in, not in our house. lol
They would play Texano, Son Jalisciense, Huichol, Banda, and other Mariachi music. Let me tell you waking up to a grito in the early morning. It’ll wake you up real quick. lol
We would listen to that, classical, country, oldies, everything.
Then when i got old enough I started my own search for music. Listening to Metal, Rock, Electronica, Techno, Hip-Hop, Underground, Garage, Jungle, Dub, Hardcore, Classical, Reggae, Jpop, Kpop, …
Hell my list goes on and on. There isn’t any one style i do not like. Even the oh so dreaded Country that most people avoid. I’m a Tex-Mex, lol
I was raised with Country too, and yea i can line dance a little.
I not only enjoy listening to music now a days, but dancing to it, watching it being produced, learning from producer, MCs, artist. Spinning a few tracks myself on my own tables.
And yes Vinyl will always be king, recognize the truth!
Even as i write this i am listening to music. When i travel, when i run, when i workout, when i need serenity. I find it in music.
Music is essential to my character and i believe has also been the reason i have shared so many epic stories, memories, and journeys with everyone who has crossed my life.
To all the artist, bboys, bgirls, MCs, producers, dancers, and music lovers around the way. Always let the music play….
Whatever style calls to you,
whatever note courses through your veins,
whatever bass-line makes your heat beat,
or makes your feet groove,
your body sway.
Whatever voice stops you in your tracks,
creeps through your mind,
awakens a memory,
a feeling…
whatever music does for you,
enjoy it,
cherish it,
and now a days
Do what you can to continue it.
People need music,
It is one of the few things in this world
that is universal
it crosses all barriers,
all languages,
it is an unspoken bond between all who enjoy it.
I’ll see you on the dancefloor,
I’ll see you in the crowd,
I will dance with you,
I will jump and mosh with you
We will rage, and cheer,
We’ll feel the build up,
and jump for the ceiling on the drop.
