Adam Lopez releases new music

Published on 7 months, 2 weeks ago in Adam Lopez and Bands by Vinnie 1 Comment

Adam Lopez - Releases “Strong”One of Tulsa’s best known Independent artist’s, Adam Lopez announced that he has released a new single available for immediate download. Adam’s music is an eclectic mix of rock, soul, funk, reggae, blues and jazz. I’ve heard him play with Mas Rudie before at Plan B in Tulsa with Citizen Mundi drummer, Canuto. Adam’s sound is original and another reason why I listen to as much Tulsa grown music as I do. His music will grow on you and I am sure that with his newest single release, Adam will gain even more new fans. According to Adam’s website, he says…

…”My guitar is my favorite voice as I feel I can say anything I wish to thru it. My Jah given voice makes me proud also as I feel powerful and raw when I sing. I hope others feel that too.”…

Adam plays all of the instruments on all of his latest releases, including his newest single, “Strong” which is currently available on Adam’s MySpace and from his website Adam Lopez Music.

As most Tulsa Tonight readers know, I am not a professional reviewer but I do enjoy promoting what I believe is true Tulsa, whether it be a new restaurant, club, bar or band - In this case, I am asking you all to support a true Tulsa original musican - Adam Lopez. Tulsa has so much musical talent and Adam’s music is no exception. His evocative lyrics, his unique guitar style and his showmanship make for a great musician and a must see and hear… He is playing near you soon, so be sure to take some time out to catch this developing Tulsa artist.

You can hear Adam Lopez with Mas Rudie every Tuesday night at Plan B in Tulsa. In June, Adam Lopez and Mas Rudie will be performing at The Laughing Wench in Jenks. (see Upcoming Shows - upper right.)

Support Adam Lopez by purchasing his music from his website or MySpace. I have included his SnoCap listing here as well so you can sample and buy his music online

This past weekend was a Citizen Mundi flavored delight. Citizen Mundi played Friday night at The Gray Snail Saloon and played to an electrified crowd for over 3 hours. Playing songs from their CD release ‘No Translation’, they made this small venue sound like a large concert hall. Patrons of the Gray Snail, some of them hearing Mundi for the first time, danced all night long to the rhythms. Mike Drummond and Ryan Tedder did an outstanding job playing horns, punctuating the music of Mundi and moving in synch together while Jean-Michel lead the band as he always does, with style, flair and exhuberance. Keeping the bands time at bay was Canuto and Sergio, Wilfredo worked up a sweat playing keys - he literaly got off a plane from L.A. just an hour or so before playing to a packed pub. Mundi bass player Eric Bass, solidifed the band’s sound and moved in synch with Jean-Michel.

Saturday night, Mundi played with another Tulsa favorite, Sam and The Stylees, down again on Cherry Street at Kilkenny’s first annual block party. Both bands played hard and loud, moving the crowd all night long. Both Mundi and Sam and the Stylees picked up some new fans yet again. These two bands play together often. Offstage, both bands members are friends. Sergio and Canuto from Mundi danced and partied to Sam and The Stylees music with several of their friends. Tulsa musican Garret Overstreet was there enjoying both permances as was Dixie Tavern bartender, The adorable Andy.

Thursday, September 13th will feature Citizen Mundi, Sam and The Stylees, Ghosts, The Hosty Duo and Travis Kidd at River Parks West Amphitheater. Free food and free beer (21+) for attendees. The entertainment starts at 6PM and will continue till 11PM and beyond. For more details visit OurRiverEyes.com .

Citizen Mundi this weekend and next week!

Citizen Mundi - An International Sound in Tulsa

Published on 1 year, 5 months ago in Bands by Vinnie 3 Comments

I stopped off at Josie’s today for some awesome Tamales.  A young man named Sergio was working the front counter and put on some music while I was having lunch. I told him that I liked what I was listening to which was a mix of Reggae, Latin Rock, Ska, Pop, Flamenco, Caribbean, South American rhythms & beats, Jazz, Funk, African and Middle Eastern music styles. The music was infectuous and the recording, flawless. After talking to Sergio more about this music, I was told that the band sings their music in 4 different languages: English, Spanish, Portugese and French. The band’s members are from 5 different nations aross the globe and Tulsa is currently their home.  The name of the band is Citizen Mundi - which according to the explanation on their website says ”

~~~~”Representing five nations across the globe, Citizen Mundi was formed in Tulsa, Oklahoma during fall of 2004. ‘Mundi’ (moon-dee),  etymologically speaking meant ‘world’ to the native peoples of ancient Rome, and now it defines us all as citizens of one world - “Citizen Mundi” “~~~~

Sergio as it turns out, is the band’s percusionist and is well versed in many styles of music. They play at places like Bostons, Cains Ballroom, Fishbonz, Kilkenny’s, Riverwalk Crossing and recently at Wakarusa Music Festival in Kansas in June of 2007.

Citizen Mundi consists of:

JMB: Guitar & Vocals
Eric Bass: Bass & Vocals
Wilfredo Nanita: Keys & Vocals
Ryan Tedder: Sax
Michael Drummond: Trombone
Sergio D’Alonzo: Percussion
Canuto: Drums

If you like progressive music with great layers of percussion, keyboards. tight horn arrangements and intriguing vocals, then you should pay your local club a visit to hear Citizen Mundi soon or better yet, visit their website to Download Their Music! In this day and age of international unrest and overt racism, Citizen Mundi sums up our what our existence should really be about,  (again quoted from their website) :  “No matter how you look at it we are all indigenous to our planet. You are Citizen Mundi.” 

The Citizen Mundi Website is well put together and features a bio page, contact page and has the  song lyrics from their debut CD, “No Translation” which is also available for download.

I love finding out about unique restaurants and people in Tulsa and now I have found a great new sound in Citizen Mundi.
