Shake Some Action! The first time I heard that song I knew it was going to be with me for the rest of my life. “They were better than the Beatles” Told me my friend Tio, “They are more powerful without losing the pop element”; yeah we were definitely grooving with their music, smoking Js and chanting the ooohs in their songs with our fists in the air. Slow Death was another rockin tune that was my companion during my teenage years. Even their covers are great like Louie Louie, so when I learned they are coming to town, almost 50 years after they were formed, its a dream come true. It is like travelling to a time where I wasn’t even born yet. If you are new to the band you have to get Groovies’ Greatest Grooves, a 1989 compilation album originally released by Sire Records. Along the big hits you can enjoy Yes It’s True, Don’t Lie to Me, You Tore Me Down among other classics. Imperdibles!

Despite a complete reconstruction of their body of acoustic work to align with an artistic vision within the realm of electronic music, the band’s jazz roots are nevertheless audible in their music’s most core sound. Janel Blanco’s vocal work is lovely and timeless, perfectly complementing the electronics surrounding it which are likewise reserved and soothing. Operating as their own producers and mixers, The Maya Spectra have created something which is genuine to themselves.
