u guys aren't feeling the grove, ur just playing the notes u have to have some meaning behind them

[waltercito47]

OK, I'm a 64-yr old white guy, roots in blues and r n' r, after many years in Miami, a budding conguero - sadly, these guys don't have a clue about playing latin music. It's ain't about no technique, guys. It's about the FEELING.

Vanilla Ice Cream Band should be your name

[SuperBonjourno]

you have got to have some respect for them though. I'd normally see these guys these days trying to pay rubbish chart music

@djbot ya i agree i mean if u feel the rhythm and enjoy it it cant be bad but these guys just tryin to hard

I was thoroughly disappointed by lack of emotion from ALL players. They look like they are in math class, or maybe doing this against their will. When they broke into the funk part it COULD HAVE BEEN awesome, key word(s), could have been. That shit would've been so heavy if these were soulful black dudes (thats a joke by the way....actually its not)

Well I say pretty darn good for high school kids, keep learning, keep growing and spend as much time as possible playing in front of people. Who cares what models or makers of instruments they're playing, at least THEY are playing and not sampling popular music, ranting nonsense over it and calling themselves musicians, or artists... Keep up the good work boys, don't let negativity stand in your way, because that's either immaturity or just plain 'ol jealousy !

@djbot post something better then, little boy ( I can only assume you're a little boy by your childish comments, either that or like most of your ilk, you have an 8th grade education ).
