AFTER PERFORMING AROUND THE UT CAMPUS AREA, A FEW RADIO-TV-FILM STUDENTS INVITED RULITOS TO THEIR CLASS TO RECORD A LIVE PERFORMANCE. HE OPENED WITH AN INTRODUCTORY MEDLEY, BLENDING TOGETHER THE SONGS POSE IN BLACK & WHITE, ASI FUE MI POEMA, AND DNA. ALL THREE HAVE YET TO BE FORMALLY RELEASED, THOUGH THEY ARE STAPLES OF RULITOS’ LIVE SHOWS.

INSPRIATIONS FOR THE THREE SONGS RANGE FROM TIME SPENT IN BIG BEND, THE VENEZUELAN PRODUCER ARCA, STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN’S FLASHY GUITAR PLAYING, AND PERSONAL STUFF — LIKE ALL CREATIVE WORK IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
