Detroit-based Jeremy Ellis moved to Puerto Rico to create an album
marrying traditional Bomba and Plena rhythms with Detroit-schooled
dance music. After three months, the keyboard maestro and golden-toned
vocalist discovered that the living in Puerto Rico ain’t so
easy. On his way home he lost two computers, all of his recordings,
half of his recording advance, and his passport (and possibly part
of his mind). Fortunately, Ellis returned in one piece with the
musical knowledge and resolve to create “The Lotus Blooms,”
an album of insatiable future funk grounded in Detroit and peppered
with a Puerto-Rican persuasion.
