I never wanted to recognize what were my physical limits because I've been a relatively healthy individual my entire 33 years of life vigorously break dancing and extremely active. Unfortunately, close to 3 weeks ago i suffer a small brain manumission that completely cchanged ALL perception all my physical abilities for ever, still today can't play "6 corrido" any longer like before, textting or computer writing with 1 eye is a pain, tedious and frustrating and writing this short blog so far has taken me about 15mis without interruptions or deleting.Thus you guys can imagine. because of this just imagine how my music making and future video making will be affected. The reason for this post are 3 #1 to thank all the people, upporter, Bomba Collegueges family and friends and especially my Life Partner Janet Garcia that I have the spirit and will to AIM for a complete full recovery #2 to let anyone that has never sufered a health fall to NEVER take their good or "bad" health for granted becasue for sure it can turn to worse for no reason. and #3 to Assure my Nostalgia Amarilla &Florida Scene Familiy que vamos' pa encima, UNION UNION Bomba y PLENA LOVE YOU all.
Currency & Exchange is an modern artistic visual take into Puertorican Bomba (roots music) from Tampa Bay's band: Nostalgia Amarilla (Yellow Prima). Our goal is begin a conversation, spark our audience to think in the value of their music of African heritage wherever they are. In our particular case, Bomba roots music, the oldest genre of the island of Puerto Rico.
Short Film "Movie Poster"
The short film delivers its message trough a total of 4 songs that have an explicit a touch of modernity.
It combines traditional Bomba rhythms with light sporadic sounds and elements of eletronica music.
In addition to the previous, it blends reports of the down turn of global economics and the thoughts of the group's members.

The very last song: "Mercado Negro" (Black Market) by Hector Mayoral "Acho Brother" (close friend of the band since the year 2009). Mercado Negro is a relatively short song, nevertheless it's very powerful that concludes the give visual project in absolute a high note, only like Hector know how to do. We in Nostalgia Amarilla are forever greatful for his support, partnership and Friendship. Much more to come.

In Short, we are humbuly proud to announce that this is the first visual project on its class for the Bomba genre. It is also our goal to encourage others all over US and Puerto Rico to branch out and look for alternaitve ways to express Bomba. Of course, having on mind that these alternative ways are truth to the local circumstances of wherever the respective Bomba band, crew or group is located. Currency & Exchange Short Film & Video E.P. is our first alternative expression of many. Thank you all and enjoy the theatrical trailer.
Currency & Exchange is Spaking new for you, madd OLD for us!
Yes, the Currency & Exchange project has been an uphill battle that encountered many challenges along the way. This project was recorded on Tuesday, October 2nd 2012. However, Executive Producer and Director Allende, G. did not had the opportunity to complete the editing and musical editing of this video until some time November 2013.
Reasons for the delay: #1 Finances. To finance this project was not very expensive; what was very expensive + dificult was to finance the commute to Wesley Chapel, FL once a week on record gas prices. #2 availabilty of Editor Rodney Brown. Mr. Brown works for a local universtiy that ocupies lost of his time, even on week ends. #3 and more importantly: as Rodney and I kept editing, better and greater ideas kept developing. For example, I thought that I was going to make a 3 single videos, but with so much material + great editing we decided to make it an artistic short film. That's the real way how this project came about.
