The Music of Raul Abella
Listen and find out the auditory sensation of pure digital sound. Effects that made the sound so real as you felt you were hearing the sound of a real band or orchestra. With the unique melodies and graceful arrangements were exquisite.
All instrumental music were composed, played, arranged, MIDI programmed and recorded by Raul Abella. All the sounds except the guitar were MIDI stands for Musical Instruments Digital Interface which introduced by Roland Corp. since 1980's.

Band History:
Born on 3rd of Nov. in 1953 and I started playing guitar since I was 8 yrs. old, it was only for fun, 'til 1969 when my father died of bowel cancer and I was only 16 yrs. old then, later I joined in the band, 'til it became a job, Just fortunate I was at the right time when music was so popular and I was doing what I love to do in life. 1969-2003 worked as a musician was sometime's extremely good and sometime's extremely bad, like a roller coaster ride going up & down compared to a stable job but I'm happy because I love music very much since my childhood. Some people think I'm a music freak. Now I'm a music arranger, composer, MIDI programmer and my love of guitar playing. Music is my life.............
These were my experiences;
I've been taught in music whilst working under the baton of late Dencio Lazo & his orchestra performing in the nightclub (basement of Magellan International Hotel). He was my teacher, a band leader, bassist, all saxes, kbd & arranger. After his guidance & helpful techniques,
I've played and worked on guitar, bass, drums, percussions & keyboards with cover bands and we played music of Carlos Santana, Malo, Santa Esmeralda, Blood Sweat & Tears, Chicago, Ides of March, Tower Of Power, Earth, Wind and Fire & etc..
1975 became a member in one of the bands of the best trumpeter Kiko Gatchalian.
When I became a qualified lead guitarist in 1984 I've played and worked the guitar licks of Carlos Santana, Larry Carlton, Jeff Beck, Pink Floyd, Eagles, Mark Knofler, Van Halen, George Benson, Richie Blackmore, Jimmy Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Lynyrd Skynyrd & etc. in Beefy's Cabin, Hong Kong 84-89.

Support your cancer organizations, red cross and etc.
The year 2000 I've been operated of bowel cancer like my father before me. And a million thanks to Dr. Andrew Gatenby M.B., B.S. (Hons), F.R.C.S.EDIN, F.R.A.C.S. COLO-RECTAL SURGEON, Dr. Stephen Della-Fiorentina M.B., B.S. (Hons), F.R.A.C.P. Medical Oncologist, Doctors, Nurses, the cancer organizations of their extremely precious, valuable, important lifesaving advanced treatment called "Chemotherapy" otherwise I'm R.I.P.(Rest In Peace).
I'm not sure about my lifespan if it's normal or shortened though, Anyway,only god knows how long I live as cancer is an unpredictable desease.
Before I'm R.I.P.(Rest In Peace) It's likely the right time to reveal my music principles. Some principles were from Kiko Gatchalian - trumpeter & band leader, Panfilo Completo - jazz gtr. & kbd., Carlos Conde - lead gtr., Toto Montesclaros - pianist, Ray Abella - kbd., Jon Javier - All Sax, Flutist & forgotten names.
I know, it's been said it's hard to train if that someone already knew. Just read perhaps it will give you an idea or you've missed something.
WARNING!! Ask your G.P. (doctor) first if you are capable of doing, You've been warned! So, I'm not responsible.
