[@christopherb5226]

The US government denied these talented performers a visa in 2017 to go to SXSW. This happens all the time and musicians like these really deserve more support than just likes on a web site.

[@meredithheath5272]

That is beyond inexcusable.. . What would you expect from a government which has no culture, and no appreciation for it.

[@Barney-ii1no]

how much have you donated?

[@christopherb5226]

@@Barney-ii1no Donated? To whom? Are you suggesting I need to set up a PAC or bribe politicians? You seem to miss the point. I cannot go see a band if the US government denies them the opportunity to tour. This is also a problem for bands in Europe. The barriers going from one country to the next are excessive.

14:24 Palladinio 😭😭😭😭😭 is a savage, that riff is galactic! I had to park on the side of the road, rewind & listen to the whole thing from the count in. Some guy driving by happened to be jamming it too 🤣🤣 we are now friends. ❤️. Music is the answer to world peace. The production, the mixing the engineers working tirelessly to get the right acoustic levels, the visuals, the texture, the consistent cadence, this is why I want to quit adland and start my career in building musical experiences. S/O to Soulection, you a Keeper! We want more!!!!!

amazing comment brother it made me smile much agreed

[@Repentandbelievethegospel460]

If you ever get to see them live, mystics sounds insane with a PA system. Saw them a few days ago, and Rocco's bass sounded like a vortex sucking you in and enveloping you with the swells. highly reccomend you see them

[@charlescoe5315]

Yes. Rocco Palladino is indeed a savage. That pocket's so deep he dropped in his car keys and they disappeared.

[@xXcoolio1Xx]

out of curiosity and if you feel comfortable sharing but where do you live?

I've been watchin bass players on youtube all my life Palladino is easily on of the best right now

Yep bass tone is off the charts good

[@thebenefactor6744]

Historical video. Will be referred to for generations.

[@benjaminortleb6138]

Bringing back vibes from an era where melody meets harmony meets improvisation. These guys inherited the spirits of the 70s and 80s of Fusion Soul Jazz and embedded them lushly and straightfowardly into the 21st. century. Great musicanship!

[@tokalonlove]

Yussef and Rocco and their circle has always been just nuts but the songwriting, the dynamics, the presentation… I keep thinking the next new song or performance won’t top the last but I mean come ON. Grimy in all the right ways fellas
