Robert Ramos (2)

Roberto Sontoya Ramos was born and raised in Austin, Texas. His musical carpet ride started at the age of 11, since then he's toured 14 countries, recorded 37 album/CD projects and played 43 of the 50 United States. Mr. Ramos is also a graduate (with honors) from the schoool of "hard knocks". His debut CD "Bass Street" is a celebration of good friends, great music and being cool with life. Ramos has played with Little Joe y La Familia, Joe King Carrasco & The Crowns, Keri Leigh & The Blue Devils, W.C. Clark, Alan Haynes, and Archie Bell & The Drells. He has also played with Matt Powell on and off for 6 years. "Ramos is one of the most prolific bassists around. Ramos' compositional bass work is what really shines here, like the cavernous groove under the Benson-ish octaves in "Butterfly Besos" and The Funky Meters-meet-Santana rockfest in "Biggabootie". They're all fair game blues, rock, jazz, funk, and latin."
