MUSIC REVIEW & RECORD COLLECTOR NOTES
Dave Valentine featuring Bruni Pagan on the Jazz label, GRP Records.
Bruni Pagan who earlier did "Fantasy" on Elektra teams up with Dave Valentine on this killer cut. Produced by writer/pianist Dennis Bell.
I asked producer Dennis Bell how Bruni Pagan was chosen to do the vocals and he replied:
I was asked by my friend Larry Rosen to produce two R & B dance tracks for Dave Valentine. "Loquita" was conceived as an instrumental. Dave played it for Bruni (a friend of his) and she came up with lyrics. When she sang them for us with the track we liked the idea of putting vocals on the track.
Early synth stuff I did: Oberheims, Moogs, Linn drums, Yamaha piano, the fine engineer Josiah Gluck created the first sequencer type triggers for me to get the looped synth sound. I can't remember the percussionist though.
After that I began doing Doug e Fresh and Slick Rick (la-di-da-di and the show etc.. and then new voices of freedom with U2) on my new internet record label www.guavajamm.net.
