Nicolas Wetzell (© L. Solari)

The collaboration with Peruvian composer, arraqnger and guitarist Nicolas Wetzell allowed Mo to fully connect with her inner self and discover a more intimate approach to music. Together they developed and arranged a collection of acoustic beauties, made available on the mini-CD "Goin' Basic" (released in 2005; check out the section 'Music' of this website for some sound bites).

Julio D'Santiago

Drummer and Afro-American percussionist Julio d'Santiago (Venezuela) ensures the percussion aspects in Mo's acoustic "Blazz" project, together with drummer Luca Solari (Italy/Peru).

D'Santiago spent more than a decade studying Venezuelan, Colombian, Puerto Rican and Cuban percussion with percussion greats such as Miguel "Miguito" Urbina, Jhonny Rudas, Orlando Poleo, Jose Yancen "Pachin", Nestor Gutierrez "El Chivo" as well as drums & classic percussion experts Benjamin Carriel and Jose "Cheo" Cardenas. He also initiated the first-ever fusion experiment of classic and contemporary percussion in Venezuela.

Besides teaching, running workshops, producing and coaching pupils of the Phil Collins' Little Dreams Foundation, D'Santiago collaborates with the Caracas-based "Fundacion Afroamerica" and its godfather Jesus "Chucho" Garcia to analyse Afro-American countries and their musical cultural heritage. He recently releases the "JDS and the Seven Powers" project, a colourful blend of contemporary music styles with traditional Latin-American music.

Goin' Basic (© Uptown Prod - 2005)

Several critics at CDBaby.com among others, as well as the French APAGA (Association for the Promotion of Independent Artists) attributed flattering CD reviews to Mo's mini-album "Goin' Basic".

The APAGA, through its website www.tazik.org even paid special tribute to it by making it CD Of The Month in 2006.

TAzik writes (in French): "Millar Mo'town" revisits, unplugged and mellow, the 60's-70's in blues-soul mood combined with full sense mezzo-vibrato unfaltering vocal quality. We've got spicy feelings for "Voodoo Music"; the Montreux Jazz Festival isn't far away. Very good stuff. When will her own work be out there?...."
