Our UpNtheNuves reporter,
had the privilege to meet and greet PERROZOMPOPO
artist, Ramon Mejia: singer/musician of Nicaragua, at the
1st Annual Visionary Sounds Music Benefit Festival,
held in Downtown Los Angeles on August 14th, 2010.
Here was her account of her experience in meeting Ramon,
and witnessing his spectacular performance at La Cita Bar:
I had been at the festival for hours, waiting for headliner PERROZOMPOPO to hit the stage. I was given material before the festival, information on all the musical performers throughout the day. His biography was so interesting, a family of musicians with passion for music and drive to be known and heard. My feet were aching, but I had a job to accomplish. To capture the passion, the love that this artist had for his music and the audience. Before hitting the stage, Ramon Mejia known as Perrozompopo, was seen chatting, laughing, you know, schmoozing with festival attendants, friends and family. Nothing but smiles and laughter. Once he and band members did hit the stage, that same persona that was seen outside was there on stage. The music was phenomenal!! The set was amazing, and by far the most audience filled of the night. After the show, I was asked to take fotos of him. He snatched my hat and my limited edition glasses "Spectacles" by Da Bidnez Fashion, off of me for the foto!! I am so happy to have witnessed his playfulness and love for music, life, and people. One thing I learned after the show was that he majored in Sociology at Universidad Centroamericana (UCA) de Managua. What a privilege! Congratulations for the nomination! Job well deserved!
