Shawn Gonsalves: Press

REAL music from a REAL musician!!
Reviewer: N.Y.music review
It just goes to show you. There are still real musicians out there that don't need to sample, this man can play and write. Trouble on her lips, Lova man & the urge simply rock! but what really got me were songs, free and flower to a fly, nice twist with the accoustic funk vibe. very original and oh very REAL!
S.Thompson - N.Y.music review
DOPE! One of my favorite funK CDs. This CD has it goin on!!! my favorite songs are "Free" - "Green Den" and "Lovaman" I have been waiting for the CD to come out for a long time and the wait was worth it!!! :-) I also love ur band name MOKA! Love it Shawn - Moka Man!!!
Orginal Creative -Moka!
This long awaited CD-is brillant not surprising from the talented musican -genius Shawn Gonsalves and the Moka Clan. Orginal - unique fresh sound. Instrumentals are incredible - guitars, horns, percussion blend together for an inspiring flavor. Just awesome - a production to be PROUD of!
This CD is smokin. Cross Jimi and Rufus and throw in a little blues and urban funk and that will get you about half the way there. This CD rocks it funks and is above all creative and fresh. Shawns intense guitar work ,soulful grooves , and imaginative lyrics are uplifting , thoughtful , and fun. Check it out I'm sure you'll agree !!!!

YES!, YES!, YES!, Your gonna "move ta dis" and "shake ta dis" like he tells you on the 2nd track "Lovaman" This CD is full of Life and full of grooves,and that's why because these are intentianal grooves to make you move! You can't help it people, not like pop or dance music. These are songs writin to make you want to get up and gyrate and with a positive well thought out but FUN message! Kudos to this guy, he's got great originality and has Balls! I look forward to hearing more, because that's what this CD does. Makes you want more! Again, Lovaman Awesome!, Free, Plastic, very original. Flower to a fly and Hello, yeah, HELLO! This man at the front door. LET HIM IN!
