Difficult times for artists. Many criminals take advantage of your art to exploit it for their own benefit, sometimes without legal protection to protect you.

This is a site authorized by the artist berekekê. Do not contribute to the death of the artist. Follow the official channels.

Dear AMP friends:

Now we are on the air with Amazing Radio. You can also purchase any track or album from my career.

What is beauty? Do our senses deceive us? is it conventional?

This album is about this and much more. Inspired by the novel by Benito Pérez Galdós, Marianela and her tragic story.

Soon we will demo them here on Soundclick, but if you want to listen to the full track, starting tomorrow on the official website or on Soundcloud as a promotion.

Dear friends of AMP:

I have an interesting proposal for all members.

As artists, we know the difficult times these are (actually it has always been hard for art but now even more so).

Although today there are more resources to communicate, the truth is that many of us continue to be invisible

Our works remain anonymous.

For this reason, I propose that all those members who want to join, do a work of interconnection, of co-diffusion.

It's simple, if you have an artist website, dedicate a section to promoting an AMP member.

In this way, we will increase the chances of visibility and together we will be stronger.

If you want to participate in this proposal, send me an email to:

berekeke@hotmail.com

Dear AMP friends:

A lot has happened in these years. It is logical, it is enough to be alive for something to happen.

You have to make decisions, make changes, and discard what no longer works.

My contract with the platforms that miserably paid has ended. Now I control my work and decide who, how and when can use it.

Here at AMP, I have updated the posts on this blog. Many of them useless or expired at this time.

Now, and given that solidarity doesn't work and maintaining a site is expensive, I've returned to jimdo (I'll leave you the link below) in its basic version, where you'll find all the news about me as an artist.

After the creative crisis suffered in 2016, I dedicated myself to training and reviewing some albums that are now available under the name Deluxe.

The final episode of the Let Me Be Frank series, “Teacher of Possibilities”, describes Frank’s shamanistic apprenticeship, and his understanding of the student-teacher relationship as an experiential, non-western approach to the magical work of evolving the human mind/spirit. Frank explores the roles of the apprentice and teacher in this evolutionary process, and how the students link together with the teacher to create an alternate community within the larger cultural frame. “Teacher of Possibilities” also contains an extended piece from the musical dance jam celebration held shortly after Frank passed away, featuring a remembrance by Frank’s longtime friend and ENT doctor Richard Kerbavaz and a reading of Frank’s last poem, “Wide Open”.

Let Me Be Frank
Episode 19 – Private Rituals

“Private Rituals” explores Frank’s use of private or secret rituals both within and outside of his public performances, and how they powerfully affect one another. He also describes the role of the artist in society, and the important tool that private ritual gives the artist to bring “new dreams, new myths, new visions into society”. This episode also includes the story of how Frank and Linda first met Barbara Golden, and a brand new episode of the animated series, “How to Handle an Anthropologist”.

The readings in this segment are by Barbara Golden and Linda Mac. Barbara Golden is a musician, composer, writer and artist, and member of many bands, including being a frequent member of Frank Moore’s Cherotic All-Star band, and frequent guest on his Shaman’s Den streaming video show. Linda Mac was Frank’s lover and partner in crime for almost 40 years, and produces the Let Me Be Frank series with Michael LaBash. Music by Barbara Golden, Frank Moore, Vinnie Spit Santino, Vinnie Corbo, and Tha Archivez.
