Center Stage Artist - Perico Hernandez

Image
Jose Caridad Hernandez , better known as “Perico”, is a sonero/percussionist/composer/songwriter who creates “organic  cuban music.” Born in Pinar del Rio, Cuba, Perico is the second to the youngest of twelve siblings and the only one who became a musician. Perico began his musical training as a young boy in Havana.  He watched the street rumberos creating amazing rhythms on the “tumbadoras” (congas), and after watching Patato Valdez play congas on a TV show, Perico decided that’s what he wanted to do. Perico gradually learned from the “rumberos” and at age 14 became the conguero for a neighborhood group, Conjunto Monte Carlo. He was eventually recruited to play with the popular Conjunto Casino. Regarding his nickname Perico, he tells the story that as a kid he walked around the neighborhood with an elderly man called “Perico.” Pretty soon the neighbors started saying “Here come Perico y Periquito.” Perico has said “Maybe the name was meant to be because I’m now a sonero and...

Artist Spotlight ★ Righteous Hillbillies ★ Relix Magazine Grand Prize Winner!

Image
The band Righteous Hillbillies formed in 2007. The lineup of Righteous Hillbillies consists of Brent James, a singer and songwriter bringing together such seemingly disparate elements as hard rock, country, with rhythm and blues to form an unforgettable style. Also keeping the rhythm on guitar, James is a charismatic but commanding front man, steering the Southern Rock ship to conquer new territory at every concert. By his side is Nick Normando, a prodigy and lead guitarist who received his baptism in blood while growing up playing the blues. Righteous Hillbillies have now cut the leash, and Normando is free to run with the pack, bringing all his ferocious power and unpredictable virtuosity to the stage and studio. Jeff Bella pours the foundation on the bass, knowing when to inject color and character into the music, behind Bella is Barret Harvey – a thunderous powerhouse whose drumming ability is steady as a pulse, but equally dynamic. Trained in rock ‘n’ roll a...

SONG REVIEW 🎵📝 Marko-M - Keine Regeln

Image
Marko-M - Keine Regeln Pop, Electronica Germany Overall Impression: With “Keine Regeln,” Marko-M delivers a bold artistic pivot—trading the buoyant, anthemic energy of “Nicht gemein” for something much heavier, darker, and sonically immersive. Where that earlier track danced on the edge of rebellion with bright guitars and driving pop grooves, “Keine Regeln” sinks deep into the subconscious, channeling a hypnotic, hip-hop-inflected rhythm and chest-rattling subs in a way that instantly grabs your attention. It’s moody, deliberate, and evocative—a piece that thrives on nuance, texture, and the dynamic interplay between two contrasting vocal presences. By weaving together brooding hip-hop inspired beats, an atmosphere-heavy soundscape, and two emotionally rich vocal performances, “Keine Regeln” positions itself as a mature and reflective entry into the ever-evolving world of modern pop. Strongest Point(s): From its opening moments, “Keine Regeln” makes clear i...
