MUSIC FROM THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE
Ramon's first CD of original music, “Music From the Bermuda Triangle,” is an Afro-Jazz-Latin fusion album. Strong on percussion, it offers a balanced blend of instrumental and vocal songs using authentic ancient traditional instruments as well as electric guitars and keyboards. “Snow Scorpion,” “Mantiki I” and “Mantiki II” are African-related instrumental pieces. “Yoruba Cuba” and “Music From the Bermuda Triangle” are Afro-Cuban inspired songs with vocals. For some classic southern rock, there’s “Sugar Can Rider” where Ramon shares special memories of his childhood in Cuba. There’s also a tango on the CD, “Tango Solito.” And for R&B lovers, there’s the gospel-influenced “Hard Work.”
Recorded in Toronto, Canada and mixed by Grammy and Juno Award Winning engineer, Kevin Doyle, this fascinating World Beat Fusion gem features musicians from Argentina, Canada, Colombia, Cuba, Ghana, Holland, Jamaica, Portugal, South Africa and the USA. Vocalists: Raul Galvez, Yohanna van der Kley, Cooly Koaho, Betty Richardson, Jackie Richardson, Ramon Taranco, Pat Thomas and Liz Tilden.

It was often featured on Iñaki Peña’s unique Trébede, the highly popular and original strictly World Music radio show on Madrid’s Radio Naçional de España.
THE ADVENTURES OF BO SEGOVIA
In the Fall of 2007, Ramon released his 2nd CD of original songs titled “The Adventures of Bo Segovia.” Recorded in New York, it features some of that city’s finest vocalists: Denosh Bennett, Eddie Bobe, Craig Derry, Danny Frazier, Marchelle Jackson, Eunique Mack, Ramon Taranco and Lee Williams. Instrumentalists who performed on the recording include: Eddie Bobe, John Jenkins, Danny Sadownick and Ernesto Simpson (on drums and percussion); William Galison (on harmonica), Craig Handy (on tenor sax and clarinet), Greg Lewis and Danny Mixon (on organ), Samir Shukry (on violin); electric bass players: Essiet Okon Essiet, Buster Hemphill aned Harvie S. and Ramon Taranco on guitars.
All the tracks were produced by Ramon Taranco, mixed by Ethan Donaldson (New York) and mastered by Tom Rogers at Atomix Studios in Los Angeles.
“The Adventures of Bo Segovia” includes 2 songs with Native Indian themes, “Buffalo Skies” and “Ghost Dance.” “Buffalo Skies” is a spontaneous outpouring inspired by Ramon’s fascination with the ghost dance and the odyssey of the Plains Indians. Its Shoshone and Sioux imagery and its New Orleans Funk rhythms make it an interesting musical and lyrical marriage. “Ghost Dance” is a song about materialism versus the spiritual. It has an Afro-Blues feel and a dazzling Middle Eastern violin solo. The title song, “The Adventures of Bo Segovia” tells the true life story of Ramon’s grandfather who fought with Pancho Villa in the Mexican Revolution, escaped into Texas, rode the rails to Chicago, and eventually settled in Los Angeles. “Babes Elusive” is a funk-soul-reggae ballad. “Isolation Blues” has a jazz feel that cuts into a latin-rhumba groove. “Spirit of Muddy Waters,” “Blues Keep Thrillin’ Me” and “St. George Street Overture” are blues-oriented.
