Bendicion continued to promote Mezclado music.Always moving, Bendicion went to Miami, NYC, and then his first open tour, traveling from NY then through the south. He performed in Atlanta, Birmingham, and throughout Texas. He performed with the hardcore hip-hop scene, cyphered with national slam poets, taking in more of a bi-polar nation, feeding his own creations.
Bendicion returned again to DC, and his now professional studio to record and produce his EP Latin Explosion, as well as All Americano's first mixed CD with Miky Bad Boy (of 1830 Records) and All Americano's Gideon War. He is now on his next trip across America to sell the EP and spread the music.
Bendicion is the founder of Mezclado music, All Americano's trademark sound. He grew up in the DC area, started writing as a kid to express the raging thoughts of any young minority surrounded by the hypocrisy of a masked city. A city highly skilled in hiding its dark secrets and exploiting its lies. He was drawn to music, beginning with the forgiving soul of a classical guitar.
He started with a 4-track, recording any ideas that came to mind. Jamming for years, making songs, learning to play everything from the congas, to bass. He went to school for awhile, but realized the structured world would never work for him. Then, Bendicion made his first pilgrimage for music, to New Orleans.
While playing bucket sets along the Mississippi Bendicion met incredible people, saw a city impoverished and unrecognized, but so alive. This was years before Katrina showed just how much America was willing to neglect its own.
Next he moved to NYC to check out the music scene and make underground tracks with other artists. He saw the towers fall, and the loudest city in the world became quiet.
Bendicion returned to DC and spent years, working, building his studio, building his sound. He started All Americano to put out his first mix, raw and uncensored, Bendicion, in 2004. Performing around the area, getting radio play on independent and college radio, and producing more tracks,
