Working with Robert Avellanet
On the set for Roba’s newest video, “Miserable.” A great song featuring myself on the bass guitar.
During my last trip to Miami, among other things, I was hired to play bass in the latest music video for Latin Singer RobA (Robert Avellanet). The song was titled Miserable off his latest release Jet Privado. Please visit www.robaonline.net for further details on the LP.
The shoot went great and it was a pleasure working with Director Richard Gibson www.richardgibson.tv. Among other folks where several Miami musicians and a few dancers and models. The vibe was great and high energy. All my parts where shot in super high speed, so I must have looked like a madman jumping around, but I’m sure that where they slow it down, it’ll give the effect they were looking for. Gibson guitars provided the gear for the video and I ended up playing an SG Bass in black through an old fender cabinet from a prop shop. haha!
The experience gave me the chance to work with and meet a bunch of new friends and fellow musicians. Robert was very kind in welcoming us and making me feel comfortable on the set. I’ll be updating this post shortly with the video link. In the meantime, check out RobA’s music, it’s quite good. He used to be part of the group Menudo (aka Ricky Martin’s group as well), his solo stuff is very matured and rocking!

Does writing these blogs make you any money? It seems like it would take a long time to write these. I hope all the hard work pays off for you.

I never realized how much work it takes to start a blog. I just tried making one myself, not very easy! Keep up the good work.
