Since 2009 four colleagues and I started this thing called The Aces Sound System. The first traditional Jamaican Sound System in Costa Rica & Central America.
Music has always been a part of my life and as a record collector, Jamaican music is what fills my collection the most.
A special set of Reggae Scorcher, directly from our collection, with records found on our trip to Jamaica.
From the foot of the majestic Turrialba Volcano, we made this live set for our friend brand Toriavac, land in which we both were born.
To celebrate our 13th anniversary we prepared this set of pure “Reggae Gordo” by our friends from Travelers All Stars from Mexico.
Let me tell you a story, a story of how my life was shaped by music.
About how I got to know Ska music and how through this genre I learned to play various instruments, about how I have participated in some bands, about my passion for calypso, about my 13 years as a DJ and Toaster. About how, in addition to learning how to design concert posters, I discovered and studied graphic design, how this led me to the job I have, and how I now share my passion for records and music with good friends from all over the world.
Aha, that’s right!
Calypso was and has always been a genre very close to me, since I was 14 years old I started playing Banjo with that Caribbean style influenced by the proximity of my hometown to the Atlantic coast of Costa Rica.
And this is what runs through my veins.
