The sound or sense of hearing

resounds modulations; while ensemble: a thing in views as
a whole, in this case the whole, the musical complete expressive
performing collective on passage of inspiring poetry…

by these musical patterns: Jazz, Reggae, Rock, The Blues,

as he is preferable like to be known, has a great liking for
Latin music with deep respect for Santana & passion for
Flamingo styles of Latin music which he is currently a master
student. Besides this musical influence his greater passion
of requested music is jazz and blues with a smooth touch of
reggae. Leonsky’s other musical addictions are for the
soulful era of blues, like James Brown & improvisations
Guitar strokes of Jimmy Hendrick, Ray Charles & John Coltrane
composing genius as well as divine harmony of Ella Fitzgerald.
Being an ensemble like no other, the factor
of astounds beauty is the managing and arranging of two acoustical
resonating sounds coming from Timon & Ghandiman, specialists
in the genre of human-beat-boxing. Ghandiman & Timon are
Vocal Percussionists of two crossing schools, the old and
the new with similarity of experimental growth into futuristic
sounds and method of breathing. Now representatives of Pure-V
the musical patterns of rhythmic beats are poetic jazz fuse
with vocalized modulations to create acoustical patterns on

cloud nine. Pure-V human beat box harmony is very much in
reminiscing on the soulful hypnotic range of the like as Bobby
Mcferrin a voicestra virtuoso.
For Pure-V, equally in adept are two other
vocalists of unique talents & acoustic range, they are
Preacher and Kareemineel a.k.a. Kay 2the Gee. Preacher has
a very absorbing vocalizing linguistical style of Portuguese
and English as well as few other languages in his poetic spoken
words rapture. While Kareemineel’s Arabic and Dutch
acoustic verbal flows are both electrifying & enchanting
with attractive poetic verbalizing blows of positive charge
for increasing mental thoughts of togetherness. Kay 2the Gee
expresses masterful scores on verbal veridical verifications
on the social issues of humanity. The insight on grace would
be a cross comparison between these two champions of audio
pleasure would be in admiration of such great as Guru &
LL Cool Jay, for both Preacher & Kareemineel orate vital
spontaneous charms.
In the Pure-V ensemble always with special
featuring delights, there is Niccolo, the artist/ MC from
Afghanistan. He is with great musical potential, drive of
quickness to learn likewise expanding his practicality in
visualizing music. His projecting acoustic vocal is on a free
range as to spank the acute sharpness in each presentation
of poetic exuberating exhibitions. Niccolo on the keyboard,
Niccolo on the microphone, Niccolo jamming with the Tabla,
with pure & raw energy of love, he is the lead vocal.
With repeating poetic lines of chorus & acoustic improvisations
this rapper’s vibrant upbeats help in creating the tranquil
mystic of Pure-V. In tradition of ancient poetic tantra, Niccolo’s
vocalizing dubbing & instrumental reflects the patterns
of India in deep love on Her creative life.
In emotional awareness on
She, there is the master poet Ank Steady a.k.a. Artist@Large
Poetic MC, spewing lyrical flows delivering an emancipating
show with simple using words we all know or should know. Each
molecule of air particles in his delivering carries a message
from the Ankh Society, “Women are First”. Pure-V
is the quintessential new breed of creative individuals and
in the lead is a poet called Ank Steady & his harmonica.
For Ank Steady this pattern is very simple, it is named
MAD-Audio… “ Music Accompanied Dialect. Using
the oratory method in acoustic annunciating of words for climaxing

On feeling the vibes, Pure-V structural tempo
starts with straight poetry reading accompanied by streaming
vocals from Niccolo, Preacher and Karemineel as the musical
endorsing accompaniment with jazz, reggae or hip-hop instrumental
lead, which sometimes begins with guitar strokes from Leonsky
or human-beat boxing vocal percussion by Timon or Ghandiman.
Approximately, three & a half minute later members of
the ensemble share their creative interpretations in counter-clockwise
rotations. To be creatively being heard, Pure-V system is
basic and pure so members within the ensemble is given the
opportunity to express their acoustical muse & shine.
The best liking characteristic description on Pure-V poetic
flows is in similarity to the New York era of 1918 to 1930.
This period in musical poetic history is better
known as the Harlem Renaissance, a cultural inspirational
of intellectuals spreading creative upheaval in the African
American community. This era of musical poetry was a period
where CATs, creative-abstract-talents, such as Sterling A.
Brown, James Weldon Johnson, Countee Cullen, Langston Hughes,
Claude McKay, Jean Toomer, Jesse Redmon Fauset, and Zora Neale
Hurston, exposed their literary distinctions of prose to musical
scores and the World. By compliments of association and learning
growth the unknown became known legends, some were Louis Armstrong,
