Roca Inmovible's History
Roca Inmovible - The Beginning
Like other groups, Roca Inmovible started as musicians of Iglesia de Dios Pentecostal of Chelsea, MA in the late 1980's. The original group had the percussion section (drums, congas, bongos), the melodic section (piano, electric bass, guitar), and the horns section (trumpets, trombone, and sax). The band also had about four singers. During this time, Roca Inmovible did it's first and only music video, which is currently lost. The church in which the band started was at 131 Chestnut St. in Chelsea, MA. It wasn't until the early 1990's that the congregation, as well as the band, moved to it's current location at 27 Crescent Ave. in Chelsea, MA.
Roca Inmovible in the 2000's
In the winter season of 2002, Roca Inmovible started recording sessions for our first CD, Llego Jesus in Boston, MA under the direction of Nelson Maldonado. The singer was Merary Maldonado (now Merary Rivas) and the musicians were Nelson Maldonado, Juan Maldonado, Nelson Maldonado, Jr., Josue Maldonado, Ellison Tavico, and William Ortiz. It wasn't until the spring of 2002 that recording sessions ended and in late fall 2002, Llego Jesus was released to the public.
Just before the summer of 2003, it was decided that Roca Inmovible will enter the electronic era with the creation of Roca Inmovible's website and email. After six months of designing, a design was chosen and the website soon took shape. In February 2004, Roca Inmovible website became available to the public.
In early 2005, it was decided that Roca Inmovible will record it's second album, Vivire Solo Para Ti, under the direction of Juan Maldonado. Unlike the other recording, however, this recording was to be recorded live at a concert. This concert was also to be video recorded for a DVD release. On August 20, 2008, the concert took place at our local church. Regretably, most of the video and audio could not be used due to technical difficulties
After the disappointing quality of the recordings, it was decided that Roca Inmovible will re-record the songs at a studio. It was decided that we would record at JM's Music Studio, since the owner of the studio was the director, which at the time was Juan Maldonado. With the exception of the singer, each musician would record seperately. Near the completion of the recording, which was in the summer of 2006, it was decided that Tavico Productions would design the CD and CD cover. Just like the recording studio, Tavico Productions was owned by Ellison Tavico, a musician of Roca Inmovible. After many several design changes and audio edits, Roca Inmovible released "Vivire Solo Para Ti" in December 2007. However, the CD became available on the internet and to other locations outside Chelsea, MA on January 1, 2008. This CD is so far the only CD that was edited, both musically and graphically, by the members of Roca Inmovible.
