Joaquin Gustav opened the show last night at Cat's Art MusikCircus and I believe he's the original of the Latin lovers in Second Life as he has been performing in the virtual world for quite a long time and he comes to us from Argentina. Joaquin plays a wonderfully romantic set with very delicate and fast lead guitar work over either a looper or back tracks, it's tough to tell. It really doesn't matter how he does it as his presentation is very smooth and what sets it apart is the lead guitar he plays on top.
This was Joaquin's last performance of the year at Cat's Art MusikCircus but he will be back every Friday in the New Year. He plays a quite romantic set that is perfect for time dancing with your date in a very special moment. He plays a mix of Latin songs with a mix of his Latin-style adaptations of pop songs and the result is a quite beautiful, highly-romantic performance.
A twist Joaquin offers to the virtual performance is that he also presents a webcam so you can watch him in real life or Second Life, as you choose. You may be surprised to discover that he really is the young Latin lover he portrays.
There was a second act last night at Cat's Art MusikCircus and this was Voodoo Shilton. Based on his style, you might well think Voodoo is in Argentina as well but he comes to us, I believe, from New York or New Jersey. However, don't make any assumptions about what music he would prefer based on where he lives as I'm quite sure you would be mistaken. Voodoo's mother is from Chile and he said he learned a lot of his passion for Latin music from her and this is why he plays an exclusively Latin set.
As with Joaquin Gustav, Voodoo Shilton has phenomenal guitar skills which he combines with other sound sources, possibly a drum machine or other types of enhancements. The result is that Voodoo presents a performance that starts out relatively softly but definitely not predictably. As the performance advances, he plays with stronger and stronger backing so at the end the percussion behind him has a decidedly 'rocky' strength. Despite the power in the backing, Voodoo's Latin style is consistently beautiful and his skills are self-evident. If you visualize Latin jazz, this could bring you closest to what he does but you will have to come to see him and hear him at Cat's Art MusikCircus on any Friday in the New Year to truly discover for yourself.
I understand Voodoo Shilton has won a Best Musician award in Second Life but I won't make any assumptions to category. I just mention it to give an idea of his skill. I disagree with contests that rank musicians and you won't even hear me compare them. Every musician stands alone in what he or she presents as there is no-one else on the stage when the performance begins. Come to one of his shows and find out for yourself.
