Biography Kephas is a word with both Greek and Aramaic origins, the equivalent of “Rock.” It is also the moniker of a man on a spiritual path and the name of an accomplished recording artist.
Born in Miami to Cuban immigrant parents, Kephas was raised on the sounds of their homeland: urbane big bands easing effortlessly into the rhythms of Africa; the hushed sanctity of a Catholic mass contrasting with the rituals of Santería.
Blessed with the technical facility to master the complexities of digital recording, Kephas creates full-blown tracks in his own studio where he spends long nights overdubbing instruments until they gleam with a shining veneer.
With an immense backlog of material, Kephas estimates that he could conceivably work for the next five years on his preexisting catalog.
Above the infinite sustain of electric guitar, the surge of the Hammond organ and the syncopated grooves of timbales and congas glows an aura of reverence and thankfulness. |

I just wanted to say that your comments in the post about reviewing, to me, was right dead on...I realized alot of what others said, with due respect to all;- well, it got repetitive...I had to stop, & get away from it.
Your point of view made a whole lot of good sense & it was a straight forward refreshing good viewpoint. Well thought through, I felt it 'hit home' neatly,--clear and concise & I happily agree. Thank you Kephas. Take care. -Vesa. |

Individual songs by the artist Kephas are well known on the internet. Today, for the first time, I took the opportunity to listen to the album, Rivers of Living Water, as a whole production. It is an experience that must be shared. This album is straight Christian message, but not in old worn formulas but in heartfelt, emotional expression. This is Gospel from the soul, may I suggest from the "source" itself. If you can listen to this album, I mean really LISTEN to this album and not cry at the finale version of Amazing Grace, well ..... This CD is emotionally raw, musically complex and spiritually joined. Thank you Kephas for your gifts.

Back To earth is a well written and performed song. It sounds like a song from a musical like Hair in the 60's.(Gives my age away)Very competent vocals and excellent creamy santa type guitar solo...........well done.......Dylan Thermos.
PS. Was in Florida last year had a great time..... |

Thanks so much for the warm welcome, Kephas! Treatment like that... well, one could get spoiled! :) Really appreciate you playing Working Man - Joseph is such an amazing talent and an all-around wonderful person! Tony Miller had also added drums and worked with the mix... I'd be lost without such great people! ;) I sure enjoyed listening to you, as well---Mister Talented! Mwah!! :)

'Blues Cubano' is fantastic Kephas...love this. A new fave I have to tell you.
Thanks for making my Friday brighter, as well as my wife's, who heard it. She;s likely still dancing, with the latin in her genes, partly Spanish. Cheers. -Your friend & fan. -Vesa (Most inspiring tune) |

I'm streaming Blues Cubano and I like it a lot. It's very lighthearted and sultry, too. The guitar is solid as usual, and the organ is great. Thanks for putting on tonight's show, too.

These songs were great listens. Sound quality is superb. Musically it is exciting and engaging, a very cool, unique sound and style, from the instrumental phrasing and progressions to the vocal sets and structures. I can get a feel for so many influences, from Bob Marley, to Carlos Santana. Very impressive...Justin
