I was born in Mexico City, and still living there... At early sixties had the privilege of being a neighbor of the Laboriel family...Both families were lower middle class, and lived at "La colonia Roma" quarter... MOst famous musicians were Ella Laboriel (singer) and Jhonny Laboriel who made it big at the time at singing rock'n'roll standards in Spanish... Nonetheless Abraham was learning the bass guitar... Johnny made it big with his rock rebels (Rebeldes del Rock), and the he fell as some singers do until he hit rock bottom for a couple of decades... Abe became the monster session player he is... Jhonny had a rehab and came back (he just died - RIP -), and now I feeel like a deja vu by testifying Abe´'son is Paul McCartney's drummer, and there is another cousin playing guitar... The only shame is millions of mexicans do not even know the story beyond Jhonny's and Ella's... What to do? Abe is just a monster, and his junior is up there already... I love the tale... It's a bit like the fact that so many people (zillions) do not even know Carlos Santana is mexican too... Well if you wanna hear Jhonny Laboriel singing rock'n'roll standards at late fifties, you can always listen to this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYOxk3d3lLZ7ebM ... love to every one, and thanks God for the talented Laboriel family... A mexican old guy...

[@DavidJones-hd7jj]

Abe is one of my biggest reasons I started playing bass in church years ago and I’m still going strong.Its great to see him playing with his boys.

[@watashiwaejdesu2080]

This is awesome reunion between father and sons what a great chance to see them in one accord playing music. Excellent!!!

[@jonathangriesy4652]

I absolutely LOVE this! All of it...their collaboration is so amazing! Is it technically flawless? No. But it is so powerful and rhythmic and full of love. And to see the comments! From people from so many cultures and backgrounds. Music truly does bring us together, brings love to one another.

[@RCLIFTOFFGuy]

I'm new to Abraham Laboriel and that's not a bad thing. It's like having a brand new start at life and so far the journey has been amazing.

[@Firstmajortomlikestoticker]

07:14 He Put the SMACKDown on the BASS WOw

[@palgyomai9443]

Abe Laboriel is my absolute favorite bassist. I just love the way he plays that instrument. WOW!

[@jnadle1]

The family that plays together stays together.

[@Sidlercraft]

I have now spent 12 and 6/7 of an hour listening to our man Abraham in a loop. A truly life changing experience. In all honesty I have only experienced a feeling like this one other time. It's something in my bones really, the vibration of my bone marrow at every stroke of the ivories or pluck of the string. Again, truly life changing. Now onto the closest I have come to this type of feeling. It was About 17 and 5/9's of a year ago. At that time I was somewhere deep in the mountains of Tajikistan. I was in search of the most virgin powder on earth. After many days of struggling through this rough terrain I had the opportunity to speak with an elder from one of the secluded villages in the mountain range. After spending what I would call 34 and 3/4's of minute with this well lived individual I got that feeling. That feeling within your bones. Your body daring itself to rip apart. It was simply this mans presence that did so. I have yet do discover the true cause of these tremors but I am hopeful Mr. Abrahams music can shed some light on the situation. Again thank you Mr. Abraham for sharing this wonderful master piece. I look forward to viewing your future works!

[@charliegolmon5430]

every note and beat held a hidden intensity and excitement until the point of release by each musician! These men FEEL the music...not just play it! That keyboard solo! that bass solo! the drums! the guitar! this is how music is supposed to be performed...regardless of genre or style! It's all about FEEL!

[@mizpahboy7513]

+Charlie Golmon I couldn't have expressed it better and agree more

[@carlosestrada2487]

Orgullosamente Mexicanos!

[@TheD4ddyh]

i just love how its pretty much the whole family playing. i havent seen all these guys play together before

[@scottied7299]

I wasn't even looking for this, but I'm glad I found it. Abe Sr is a beast...

[@carolthomas1805]

Okay, tears in my eyes because of a ‘DRUM SOLO???’ Yep. Wow. The passion when playing transposes to those who listen, from heart and soul to heart and soul. Wow! What a family of men!!! Wonderful!

[@rman52]

It was nice of Doctor Laboriel to bring his family to give back to his alma mater. What a family. Like Bach and his two sons. Sheela E and her dad. And I can't confess to know anything about them personally, but they all appear to be incredibly nice guys too.

[@micknordstrom2591]

Probably the best drummer in the world right now!

[@Firstmajortomlikestoticker]

Wow father jamming with sons...... Only the "Laboriel Connection" can do this..!!!!!

[@franciscoalvarez4389]

Música llena de amor! Así es Abrahm y su bajo

[@huarachudo47]

Wow, Abe Sr. is out of this world... That's why Abe Jr. is too.

[@alexp-d3t]

Man did you hear that smooth sound by Jetro at 5:25 and 5:37 mark? That's the epitome of Quiet Space. And of course the most prolific bass player in the world!

[@manonoob007gameplays]

Orgulho de ter um brasileiro representando la fora , Mr Jetro da Silva , um mestre.

[@mmartinez1378]

Abe is a drummer with an incredible amount of FEEL and he is solid as fuck! God damn I love to hear him and his brother and pop play. This changed my mood for the day, thank you!

[@tunptl18]

I'm nearly 97% sure that the definition of pocket in most dictionaries is simply his name.

[@mackpreston2718]

Damn......Sr. is the smooth groove!!!! Hugh Jr. fan!

[@rehancoliebenberg4643]

Nothing to lie about when this is so extremely awesome. If a musician don't enjoy him/herself. They won't perform. & each musician in this had an amazing time.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@SEOTeamBerlin]

thank U so much for sharing this here --- I'm a multi-instrumentalist myself (though not far as good as these marvellous guys :-D ) - drums being my main instrument, piano and bass my "secondaries", and I very much enjoy watching this performance of father & sons, great great musicians, and I got to know Jr. through his playing for Sir Paul McCartney :-) - I wish them well and many more years of playing together and with others
