Detroit based Jeremy Ellis has a real ability to fuse music, his latest long player is a combination of Puerto Rico inspired Bomba and Plena married with rhythms with Detroit-schooled dance music. After three months of working on the album in Puerto Rico, the keyboard maestro and golden-toned vocalist discovered that the living in Puerto Rico ain’t so easy. On his way home he lost two computers, all of his recordings, half of his recording advance, and his passport. However all is well that ends well and he will soon release ‘Lotus Blooms’ through Ubiquity Records.
