“Social Justice For All,” with Guest Orion Brutoco, Executive Director and Founder of “The Social Justice Team,” and Musical Guest, Guitarist, Recording Artist, and Music Producer and Educator, Juan Carlos Quintero on The LIFE CHANGES Show

GUEST: ORION BRUTOCO and MUSICAL GUEST: JUAN CARLOS QUINTERO

JUAN CARLOS QUINTERO

When he first picked up the guitar at age eight:  “No matter what style I ever played in, I always came back to the Latin grooves.  Latin music crosses so many boundaries and its ability to seduce at the same time as it celebrates life and my culture background has always amazed me.  It’s got a strong natural appeal to me.  A few years before I picked up the guitar, I remember being mesmerized by a high school band that played next door to my elementary school in Brussels.  They were a cover band and I said, ‘who are the guys form the radio!’ I was hooked form then on.”

Quintero was particularly inspired by Spanish flavored masters like Cal Tjader, Eddie Palmieri, Tito Puente, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Carlos Santana, but he felt that Chick Corea best brought out the excitement of bridging Latin music and American jazz.  Quintero took this lead both when he was attending Berklee College of Music in the early 80’s and when he launched his own solo career later in the decade.  He studied composition at Boston’s New England Conservatory, and then moved to Los Angeles, where he plugged into the city’s studio scene with the help of this mentor Tommy Tedesco.  While doing TV and soundtrack work by day, Quintero hooked up with some of his old Boston schoolmates and began gigging in Los Angeles and Orange County.  Opening for longtime hero Gato Barbieri early on convinced him whatever struggle he faced was well worth it.

Achieving his goal of “speaking positively about my homeland and help others see it in a more positive light through my music,” Quintero became a staple of NAC radio with tracks from his first two albums, a self- titled effort in 1990 and Through The Winds in 1992 on Nova Records. Critically acclaimed records followed through out the 90’s that included “The Way Home” on Escapade records.   Followed by releases through joint ventures with Robert Fripp’s label, DGM as well as Native Language Music releases featuring Medellin, Los Musicos, and Los Primos.  He worked in A&R and produced a handful of projects for Nova then worked in artist’s relations for Latin Percussion Music Group, a noted manufacturer of percussion instruments; he functioned as liaison with the company’s most notable endorsers, including Latin legends Puente and Irakere and members of Santana. Quintero was also featured on Jazz on the Latin Side Volume 1 (2000) and Volume 2 (2001), all-star live recordings (at B.B. King’s Blues Club, Los Angeles) for Ubiquity/Cubop Records alongside Alex Acuna, Poncho Sanchez, Justo Almario, Otmaro Ruiz, Francisco Aguabella and Luis Conte, to name a few.

Quintero in recent years also developed a career as a professor at College of the Canyons in Valencia, and California State University.   Teaching shaping the concept from Moondo Records, which began as a platform for his publishing catalog; he now owns the rights to his music, which has been contracted out to numerous televisions shows, including Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, Extra, Hard copy and various programs in Europe and Japan.

2007 marks Moondo’s third year as a full fledge music label distributed by Ryko/Warner Bros. Distribution. Moondo Records has expanded its artist roster with an exciting slate of releases displaying the inspiring, wide-ranging musical wanderlust that drives Quintero. Artists include Sambaguru featuring Katia Moraes (Brazil),  Huaycaltia (Peru),

Reality is a great science that has no boundaries only those that we create for our comfort. There is no right or wrong way to grow but it can be of tremendous assistance in recognizing the limitations which hold us bound. ” Sonia Barrett

GABRIEL GOCOBACHI

Gabriel Gocobachi created SuperCellular, the first healing micro superhero for kids when he was only 2 ½ years old.

After meeting a young boy at the Woodbridge Park who was very sick, Gabriel came home and declared that the world needed a healing superhero for kids, because the ones that Marvel Comics made didn’t do anything for a rotten cell! LOL

He said the boy told him he had good cells and bad cells inside of him and the good cells had to fight the bad guys.  This is how a two-year-old boy came up with the name SuperCellular!

The first book Gabriel made was called THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERCELLULAR and it’s been for sale on Amazon for 8 years now.

The 1st Adventures Of SuperCelular 2008 on Amazon

Over the past 8 years Gabriel has helped to create more books:

SUPER CELLULAR

HEALING MY HEART

FIGHTING CANCER CELLS WITH SUPERCELLULAR

GOING TO SLEEP WITH SUPERCELLULAR

STOPPING A HEADACHE WITH SUPERCELLULAR

COUNTDOWN TO CALM

Gabriel has also created 3 bravery awards for kids to help give them encouragement through tough times.

He’s taken these awards to the City of Hope Children’s Hospital and donated hundreds of them, but he’d like to see these bravery awards in the hands of all kids who have to go to the doctor or to the hospital to get shots or procedures.

Gabriel is currently starting a program at his school to teach other kids about Photoshop, Final Cut Pro and Adobe editing with animation.

Gabriel also co-starred with his mother in #BadMutha The Music Video where he plays an “overexposed” child exploited by his super liberal mother! #BADMUTHA MUSIC VIDEO with Jill Gatsby & Gabriel Gocobachi
