Last night I hit the studio with Pablo to lay down percussion on our sixth track — I had this funky vibe in mind. As soon as Pablo heard it,@pablobatistapercussion he looked at me and said, “Let me do my thing, man.” I was like, “Alright bro, go for it!”
And wow… he took it to a whole new level. I don’t even know what to call it — funk samba? Whatever it is, Pablo, you nailed it. That’s the magic right there.
Feeling so blessed to be surrounded by this team —@labexfunkproject one heart, one love. Album’s dropping soon in Philly! ❤️❤️❤️

We just wrapped an amazing music video shoot for Michel Labaki’s @labexfunkproject latest track “Love Park”. Hailing from Lebanon, Michel’s got an incredible story—if you haven’t yet, check out his Fox 29 interview on his IG for more about his journey. Working alongside multi-Grammy winner Pablo Batista @pablobatistapercussion Michel brought that same energy to this video, and we’ve got some behind-the-scenes footage to share! Shoutout to @liam.rosay for capturing it all on location. Stay tuned for the final cut, and hit us up if you want to make your own vision come to life. 🎥🎶 #boomroomstudios #PhillyMusic #LovePark #LabexFunk #MusicVideoMagic
