notes

Blending hip-hop rhythm and rhyme with jazz virtuosity and a liberating spirit of pure improvisation, Pensativa has emerged as one of the most engaging and original band on the bustling Los Angeles club scene. With potent and persuasive a live performance that regularly packs shows throughout the region, Pensativa has gained a fanatically loyal fan base the old fashioned way - one show at a time.
Now, Pensativa is poised to take their innovative and infectious sound to a whole new level with the release of What's The Problem Is..?, the long awaited follow-up to their 2002 independent release, Pensativa. An impressive showcase for such originals as "Six Degrees Of Alon," "Jo Jo After Four," "Tuesday" and "Devil's Lullaby."
Nationally released on DoughMain Records, What's The Problem Is..? will be followed up with a string of selected tour dates by a sextet that has already gained an extensive word of mouth reputation with sold out shows at the renowned House of Blues, the Whiskey A Go Go, BB King's and virtually everywhere else in Southern California where people gather to hear great music. They have already had the privilege of performing with several of their biggest influences including Blackalicious, Visionaries, String Cheese Incident, and several occasions with the multi-cultural Ozomatli.
Pensativa's What's The Problem Is..?, a collection of musically astute, consummately crafted and instantly accessible original tracks that deliver on all the promise of Pensativa's live show...and then some.
With What's The Problem Is..?, Pensativa moves a giant step forward in a career that has already taken them a long way.

    This CD is HOT!!! I've played it at a few parties that i've DJ'd and at work... and i've gotten a lot of great feedback. People want to know "Who" this is... and the name of the CD. "Devil's Lullaby" is my favorite track, but they are all DOPE. If u are a music lover... "What the problem is???" is a MUST have..... Peace.

  • Really good album start to finish!

    Pros: Awsome groove, great flow, incredible blend of music behind the vocals. Cons: The singer should sing more. His flow is awsome but he has a great voice too that he doesn't use enough.
