This week Sept. 19-29-2011

What a week!

2 Exciting things. 

First back in 1977 Gradie engineered and recorded a band at Tiki Studios lead by Eduardo Robledo titled Flor Del Pueblo. One of the songs has been picked to go into an album that is now in the Smithsonian. The song is entitled "Soy Del Pueblo" written by Debora Rodriguez, Felipe Rodriguez, Francisco Rodriguez, Eduardo Robledo, Yolanda Perez, Enrique Castillo, Ramiro Perez, Clay Shanrock, Arturo Delgado. From the "Musica de Nuestra America" LP. 

The Smithsonian Folkways Recordings album is entitled Rolas de Aztlan.. Songs of the Chicano Movement. This band is a piece of history recorded right here at Tiki Studios-O'Neal Productions. 

More of historic recordings will come in future blogs.

One more piece of history, did you know Jeannine O'Neal and her band introduced her first album "New American Music" with Ricky Skaggs & Sweethearts of the Rodeo in a packed football field in Newman California. Her music was a new hybrid sound of country/rock/Latin & swing. She got a lot of airplay on that album across the US. True story!

JC (John Charles) & Co. Slammin the Hammond on many of his tunes this week.

Jeannine has been busy tracking Mariana De Soto's new Latin jazz album.

Also tracking Pastor Jose Luis' new ranchera/bolero album.

Jeannine just finished Brother Isaac Camarena's latest project. Brother Ike (as we call him) was a big part of Tiki Studios-O'Neal Productions back in 1985 when this new studio was built. Jeannine recorded 3 albums for this minister who traveled all over South America bringing the Gospel to his country.

Raiznhavoc has been working on videos and should have the new album release very soon. Keep a watch for this unique sound created by Jeannine O'Neal.

Jeannine O'Neal will be performing with Butch Whacks & The Glass Packs this Sunday September 25, 2011 at Rancho Nicasio beginning at 4:00 pm. Tickets are still available. Great food & totally fun music!!

Get this album or the songs of your choice in cd or digital downloads. Below is a review of this album

Another Little Taste of Heaven

author: Jamie

                            
Definitely Jeannine's best album to date. My favorite songs on the album are 'Don't Miss'
and 'My Dear Lord' - on which Jeannine takes the chorus of the song to the highest peak possible. Once again this multi-talented musician is impeccable. I think Jeannine plays all the instruments on this album herself and there are again some very unique sound effects throughout the CD. The producer of the album deserves an applause, and I think many people will be blessed by this album.

This week in the studio

We lost a great musician and friend this last week Alex Gonzales. He just finished a project at Tiki Studios-O'Neal Productions for Pastor Luis Ortiz from Arizona recording many of the instruments with Gradie O'Neal engineering and Jeannine mixing. He was known throughout the bay area as one of the great accordian  players and he traveled Chicago and most of the places in Texas and the Pacific Northwest. We will surely miss him.

John Charles is continuing his ongoing album and currently is working on his second Christmas album with Chipper visiting.

Jeannine has been engineering/mixing a session with Christian rap/hip hop artist Lil La La.

 Jeannine is working on a session for Myra Jalique with legendary pedal steel player Bobby Black.

Daphne De La Torre has been in creating and arranging her Christian album.

We are rejoicing because Pastor Josephine Israde completed her Christian worship album.

Many more projects are in so we will continue this week.
