Most may not know the level of skill to play bass and sing. Respect.

[@Schnitzelwirt4life]

i like how the drummer feels his instrument

[@BDGGaddie]

I love seeing Abe Laboriel play along with his son on drums.

[@michaeleastwood6755]

My fav Bass guitarist of all time... love his playing.

[@noahdanaj5217]

Abraham has being killing since over 7decades and he still the man...Living Legend hands up pops...

[@Joesfosterdogs]

LOVE that low bass note...need that in my life. Abe Sr the bomb...so fluid...deep soul.

[@alejandroherrera2032]

Abraham lo máximo,como bajista y vocal,y el batero ni se diga,que sabor!!

[@draknagar]

Great person with a rock solid deep and at the same time funky bass. Very few bassist play horizontally as well as vertically. He is equally balanced up and down the neck. Seeing his work, he is highly under-rated bass man as well as musician. Perhaps paying the price for being simple & honest and not being glamorous.

[@BlaireBustillo]

One of the greatest bass player of all times. :D

[@brigadiersmart3748]

You are amazing father, brother and a leader. I seriously wish i was this talented as you.. Hey brother, keep doing it and keep leading people to Christ and kids off the streets. You're such a blessing to us all.

[@JesusHernandez-dg3bg]

Just Found out he is a Mexican Brother...

[@afarongordon]

Abraham is such a legend. I used listen to him a kid.

[@johaunZ]

we need more people like Abraham. He and the others from Koinonia changed how i listened and viewed music, and worshiped the one and only true God. Thank you Abraham.

[@wagmorebarkless2579]

Hot Damn! What a killer tune, band, and groove - I can't think of a better example of how important the doctrines 'less is more' and 'play the spaces' are. Nobody over-plays on this tune, and tension created by use of dynamics and respecting the spaces of the groove is amazing. The ending is a small wonder - not only does Laboriel teach the chorus to the audience - he then lets them solo (over some fairly intricate changes)!!! I am one impressed puppy - four paws up!

[@PorchBass]

Always with Laboriel - look at his huge hands! the bass shrinks under his mighty touch

[@YogaArmy]

I love Abe! I was blessed with the opportunity many times while I worked at Ocean Way Recording "back in the day" 80s / 90s to work with Abe on many sessions. Abe was ALWAYS so cool and chill. We would always have interesting conversations while I mic'd his equipment and did the set up. Sometimes with Vinnie Colaiuta we had a blast. Both are true Gentlemen and some of the greatest talents. I just love Abe. God Bless him :)

[@sergiolalaian1558]

Simply unreplaceable talent and charisma.

[@FilipeVidalVideos]

What a wonderful human being ... what a magnificent bass player ! Best regards from Portugal!

[@johnnymireles5373]

I agree, this is genuinely REAL! its coming from the heart n soul n not capital, but for the love of people, and the arts....

[@Boogalooonetheone]

Abraham Laboriel is a living Legend. I've seen him in Paris - France 20 years ago. He still got it ! A great groove and technique but always using with musicality and heart ! He's such a nice person, and it's being reflected in his music.

[@sidnomis1]

OK, he's officially my favorite.

[@ozzysig]

Sometimes i get frustrated on my way learning to play bass but songs like this artist like Abraham make me remember how wonderful is keep practicing

[@Socasmx]

This is the message we need in 2020/2021.

[@GraceForlu]

[@vaughnmiller5319]

Abraham is one of the best bass players of all time, and by the way the drummer is Jr.

[@aland.549]

Los Profetas "A Donde Iras" "Loco Estare" Abe's rock band from the 60's was stellar.

[@josehuur]

Thank you poppa Abe, awesome as always.. .Blessed by your talent and spirit! thanks brother! Oh, shoot with both sons! Ouch! What a special blessing! (Sure Jackie was there)

[@AndreasDevig]

I wish I could have gone to Berklee

[@katherinevalencia4676]

stunning, outrageous....utterly unique

[@aurelio1204]

Mateo Laboriel stole the show, brilliantly! I've seen Abe Sr. and Jr. play together live several times at Baked Potato back in the early 00's. Never have I felt so 'at home' with watching videos of the Laboriels as during Mateo's solo. It's amazing to see this family playing together. They should record and post more sessions together, for the benefit of us all!

[@koolamusic_]

I hope to be even happier than this man when am as old as he is; i hope i find that in our modern music also
