Biography

Percussionist, composer and educator - Carlos “Go Go” Gomez, has performed and recorded with a variable list of the biggest recording artists of our time. Throughout his career he has played and recorded along side contemporary mega stars Madonna, Quincy Jones, Mariah Carey, Sade and Francois K, as well as luminaries such as Tito Puente, Pharaoh Sanders, Eartha Kitt, Arturo Sandoval, Gypsy Kings, Jose Feliciano and Grupo Afro-Cuba de Matanzas. Gomez’s virtuosity is heard in the sheer range of his rhythmic influences and musical styles that he plays, rom Afro-Cuban bata, jazz and rock and roll, to Persian pop, Nigerian high life, New World Music and New Age electronica - Gomez’s hallmark is diversity and experimentation.

Carlos’ newest ventures continue his experimentation with new technologies. After recording a series of dance remixes with Francois K of Wave Music, David Morales of Def Music records and Jay Denes of Naked Music, Gomez launched his independent label, Kidlat Records. In 2005, he released his first CD, Homenaje al Asmatico, an homage to his bata teacher and mentor. In 2011, Carlos released his new CD, New Paradigm Global Music, a musical venture into the realm of shamanic or trance dance, encompassing his interest in Self-Cultivation, Yoga, Qi Gong and Martial Arts. New Paradigm Global Music reached #1 in the CMJ New World Music charts shortly after its release. His group, CG3, is currently preparing for their video shoot and a U.S. tour. In addition, Carlos maintains a vigorous schedule of live performances and as a DJ, teaching privately, recording sessions/studio work, film scoring, and running his imprint label, Kidlat Records throughout the tri-state area.
