Ritual (7)

RITUAL, a group of international musicians who share the passion for life and music. Based in Los Angeles California, musicians Freddy Ramos (Federico Ramos), José Luis Pérez, Eduardo Márquez Del Signore, together with the participation of an extraordinary array of very special guests, have assembled a unique collection of Contemporary Music from URUGUAY. Based on the Afro-Uruguayan rhythms of CANDOMBE, the music of RITUAL has evolved to a unique level of magic and expressive power that has established its own territory within the Universal Palette of creative sound. For their former CD release PRESENCIA, this ethnicality delivered the group an award from Exitos, a specialized publication out of Miami USA, as the best Latin jazz fusion album in the last 6 years. Finally, as Mr. Jon Anderson (YES) puts it: "Whenever I listen to the music of RITUAL, I always feel space and power; even though I'm sitting still, my inner being is moving, and at times flying; open up and listen!"
