Pacha Massive: “Don’t Let Go” (2006)
The Bronx duo of Dominican-born Nova (on keys and guitar) and Columbian-born Maya (on vocals and bass) stir up a melting pot of musical flavors on their 2006 debut.
Their music is equally at home on a dancefloor, in a laid-back lounge, wafting across your living room or pulsing from your car.

Well, this is a bit of a turn-up. I didn’t think video existed of Johnny’s San Quentin performance, but here he is performing Shel Silverstein’s “A Boy Named Sue”, which became Cash’s biggest-ever chart single at #2 in 1969.
The song is obviously still new to Cash (he reads the lyrics as he sings) and a little under-rehearsed. He’s not always in sync with the band, but the performance–flubs and all–was released despite.
The days of the little mistakes making their way onto the album–even the hit single–are pretty much over. When people say artists like Cash and Dylan made “real” music, that included real mistakes.
