Lee Ritenour - Abraham Laboriel - Rio Funk - P1

[RFDlic]

I hate to say, who played that fancy bass-solo on the original album, introducing those funny, hammering triplets.

I love Abe too. And I adore MM.

Search Xj3eT8Wry6o on YT.

[ScooterJ1961]

No wonder Lee is called Captain Fingers. And Abe just blows everyone away!  great sax work from Ernie Watts.

[rodcrippler]

if you loved Abraham's bass guitar work, and know Alex Acuña on drums, check these vids out:

[rodcrippler]

so much chemistry between Lee and Abe!!!

[ssalava]

I think the drummer is Abe's friend, Alex Acuña?

[Epistemophilos]

Love this song, although I find Lee Ritenour very boring in general. Maybe I just need some education ;-)

[rodcrippler]

@Epistemophilos listen to him, look up a bit about jazz heory and guitar harmonics, dissonance and metric complexity and you might have an idea why some sounds grow on people that continue to listen and pay attention to them: that's applies to jazz in general. I actually think this funky jazz is easy to appretiate despite its genius, a good old jazz standard

[Sebabss]

Who is the drummer? Mike Clark?

[CAGED1702]

Who ever dislikes this knows NOTHING about Music..!

[Oneninetybeats]

just cant stop to move!!! O.O

[moisdrummer]

tres personas no saben de musica!!!

[Elodren]

On YouTube you get to know talents everyday. Wether old or new. What a man, that Abe!

[Hackfrostcs]

SI MIS OJOS NO SE EQUIVOCAN.. ALEX ACUÑA ESTA EN LA BATERIA

[moisdrummer]

@Hackfrostcs claro mijo!!! ese man es el capo!!!! saludos

[ttracemusic]

Abe - you rock!!!

[Hackfrostcs]

[johnsap61]

[klaushelmutd]

Justo Almario???

[klaushelmutd]

Who`s the man with the saxophone?

[blubblubblub345]

@klaushelmutd Ernie Watts

[11010invalidusername]

Legend!

[Gugalundum]

tio fófi black se divetindo no bass XD adorei

[leonrodr]

MUITO BOM!!!

[Thomikasu]

brazilians should renew their concepts about funk.

my tip is to call our "so called funk" , to something meaning alike "hey bitch shake that big load chao chao chao chao chao"

for myself, i've grown up and haven't really understood what funk was until I saw this.

i'm brazilian.

[Nelmof]

Totally agree with you in genre, number and degree!

[drumshowcase]

I had the pleasure of talking to and interviewling Abe Laboriel for our drumming magazine a few years ago. What a fantastic human being! He is so humble about his achievements and so proud of his son. It was a beautiful learning experience talking to him. Live and learn.

[TheMidnitePoet]

Is that Alex Acuña on Drums?

[dtmtanker]

Great lineup-Haven't seen these folks play together since the early Ritenour days. Ernie Watts is a great player. Don't see enough of him these days.

[jetsterx]

is this on some DVD?

[ZAVOCAD]

uno de los más grandes bajistas electricos de to2 los tiempos,y una gran inspiración para mí carrera.

[Denis1836]

esse cara e o mestre, eu como baixista iniciante me inspiro nele, ele toca demais ,é o monstro do baixo. Valeu abb.

[ixoyeshekina]

es el mejor

[pbass70]

There is no one like Abraham. Amazing!!!

[TheJonnyHodgson]

who disliked this?!?!?! how?????

[Luideane]

UM MESTRE... É ISSO QUE ABE É.

[NiggaWhatChannel]

my god...abe senior is a bass genius...abe junior is a drum genius...what a family :)

[landart67]

Patrice Rushen on keys

[GENYESCG]

Art Garfunkel plays fusion now? :D

[FranMarroquin]

Es melodía suena a "Me fortalezco en Jesucristo y en el poder de su fuerza" de Torre Fuerte... Pero es increíble lo que hacen estos músicos.

[azdenmagro]

the definition of 'funk' in the oxford dictionary just gives a youtube link to this video

[lockupmalaysia]

@azdenmagro AMEN bruv!!

[Katz3614]

Enka! w

[777olk]

the beginning sounds a lot like those "shreds" videos! ;o)) LOL!!!

[robertiseengekkegast]

@777olk youre right! but he is a good player for sure.

[Razor64w3r]

Dude he goes so crazy on scenarios yet he gets fatter with time, it's pretty strange to see something like that

[sonchrismot]

that's what I call slap

[pax217jay]

i love this Guy playing the bass... energetic.. very nice epic playing ^^

[frontmann7]

if i were fat i would just have to look at Abe and know that it don't take to be thin to be absolutely COOL! The one and ONLY perfectly original bass player in the world!!

[FJ67CIWA]

OWWWWW FUNKAYYYY!!!

this is the SHIITTT rightt here

[jasonleos]

is ernie watts on sax?

[GiuseppeMinetti]

bellissimo pezzo, è stato uno dei primi che ho imparato a suonare con la chitarra rio funk, certo un questa versione no ahahah non vedo l'ora di vedere il grande lee a roma. ho gia preso i biglietti su listicket per il suo prossimo concerto alla casa del jazz!

[TheMidnitePoet]

Saint Abe Laboriel!!!

[fakdol]

abe looks cute when he jumps.. hes like a kid. haha

[GaryNull]

Abe is a fucking trip, lol . . . and one of the top 5 bass players ever.

[Jonny24ize]

masters of masters...AVE

[ISAAXx15]

Jejejeje la entrada esta igual a la de la cancion de torre fuerte me fortalezco jejeje pero esta muy genial la musica uno la descubre no la inventa jeje muy buen bajista cristiano

[r3rueda]

@ISAAXx15 me dije a mi mismo.. donde e escuchado esa canción?.. TORRE FUERTE

[deliyhorrakt1]

Rio Funk nada tiene k ver con Dios jaja

[leston4life]

Lee Ritenour would be an excellent bass player as well the way he is slapping that guitar.

[hoz49]

Abe can lay down a line, funk it up and switch to classical music all in one song!

[giguild]

the grand master - Abe

[nextork25]

Laboriel un bajista Cristiano de gran talento que a trabajado principalmente con Ron kenoly cantante cristiano norteamericano ademas de hacer inumerables arreglos a a distintos cantantes como luis miguel marcos witt ..

[thotondaica]

best version ever !

[jocmiguel1]

exelente tecnica !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Andre52969]

the best bassman forever!!!

[nextork25]

Geniallllllll naaa mas qe decir...

[mims4projectsoul]

wow hahaha abe laboriel is just playin wit this dude. lol jajaja

[patocars]

es verdad!! torre fuerte hizo la cancion me fortalezco , en base a esta musica!! es decir que se copiaron. ja:

[PabloRockerito]

Gran carisma el de Laboriel...! excelente!

[fretless57]

What I liek about Ritenour and especially Laboriel, is that they are obviously masters of their instruments respectively, but also they have so much incredible fun performing! Everytime!

[diecorgan]

claro que es el mejor bajista DEL MUNDO y es mexicano....

[Delroxorz]

Still can't get over that Abraham played bass for Hanson.

[TheAle12345678910]

jajajajajajajajajajajaja la exelencia musical en sus manos

[Palladinoraphael]

Esse cara não tá legal não, melhor dar água pra ele.

[GODCORRUPTED]

unreal musicians

[taufoofar]

Crazy funk... and I love the guitar slapping at the beginning, awesome stuff!

[chernsin]

oh God...i watched it over and over..they are the master~~

[dimoschka]

omg this is amazing!

name of the song anyone?

[JazzBluesFunk]

The song is called "Rio Funk"

[feriadelpueblo]

The song is "Me fortalesco en Jesucristo" Christian song.

[dimoschka]

no te creo...dudo extremadamente q sea una cancion cristiana

[yosoysahidleon]

@dimoschka si de hecho lo es, abraham es cristiano y ha trabajado con marcos witt, que es uno de los estandartes del movimiento musical cristiano. A mi no me gusta esa musica, pero lo respeto y si me preguntan, yo creo que abraham no es tan mainstream por eso, ya sea por que el no quiere o por que les da huevita. Sea cual sea la razon, es un excelente bajista, y su carisma es mejor que el de su hermano que si da hueva ;)

[dimoschka]

@yosoysahidleon bueno, todos los dias se aprende algo nuevo XD

a mi tampoco me gusta la musica cristiana, pero esta cancion es exelente.

[deliyhorrakt1]

@feriadelpueblo Se llama Rio Funk y nada tiene k ver con Jesus

[ovationlespaul145]

por mucho los mejores...

[teamtampico1]

[LifesonFan4Life]

I've always like Abe's playing but another reason I like him is becuz of his dancing ... he reminds me of a guy at our high school dances that used to bust out these outrageous dance moves that had everyone in stitches ... lol

[eja7656]

What do you mean, "Huh?

[sandrew6000]

"Huh?" because you wrote it in way that seems kind of strange. read it again.

[eja7656]
