Norberto Vélez Curbelo (born August 20, 1979, Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico) is founder of Sesiones Desde La Loma on YouTube. Norberto's family was made up of his father Heriberto Vélez, who passed a short while ago, his mother Norma Curbelo and his younger sister Normarí Vélez. Before taking his first steps in his residence in the town of Hatillo, Puerto Rico, showed signs of his artistic streak. His first music teacher, his father, offered classes at the Escuela Especializada Libre Música Arecibo and at the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico in the town of Arecibo. In his childhood, Norberto showed interest in learning to play various instruments, of which he made the guitar his favorite. At the age of seven, Norberto, always led by his parents, began to offer his first musical performances interpreting the typical music of Puerto Rico. He remained in this environment for approximately ten years between the ensembles Conjunto Tipico Clasico and Conjunto 4x4. When Norberto was 17 years old, he joined the Trompeta Con Trovadores – Trumpet with Trovadores, directed by maestro Elías López Sobá, where he began to feel a great passion for the salsa genre. During this time, he participated as a backup singer with various artists such as: Kedwin Ceballo, Frankie Negrón, Carolina la O, Pedro Brull, among others. After approximately three years, Norberto joined as a backup singer with the Victor Manuelle known as El Sonero de la Juventud. In 2003, Victor presented the concert where Norberto sang the duet with the sonero of youth the song of "Sin Bandera Si te vas"/"Without the Flag, it leaves you". Norbeto Vélez and his childhood friend Gerardo Rivas, formed a Puerto Rican Salsa group name NG2 which lasted for sixteen years until they decided to concentrate on projects that they want to achieve individually. Gerardo Rivas father Jerry Rivas, lead singer for El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico for 45 years, was featured with the group at the hill in episode number 32.

La Loma del Temeguindo

::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/04/Welcome_to_Hatillo.jpg" caption="Welcome To Hatillo"] ::

Afterwards, Norberto, singer, composer, producer, arranger and entertainer built a small house, known as the "Casa de los/House of the salseros" with a porch at "La Loma del Temeguindo"-"The Hill of Temeguindo" in the Barrio (District) of Naranjito located in Hatillo, Puerto Rico. In 2019, Norberto starting producing YouTube videos episodes titled "Sesiones Desde La Loma"/"Sessions from the Hill" approximately every month. The project is currently continuing and YouTube subscribers have grown to over 300 thousand from an initial start of 200. Norberto produces his own music videos as well and uploaded his live concert which premiered on April 9, 2021, from "LA Loma" Titled "A Mi Modo" which has been viewed over 100K times. On October 22nd, Norberto's sold-out live concert titled "The Event" was attended by thousand of people near the little house on the hill.

Dia de Los Tres Reyes Magos

In Puerto Rico, Epiphany ( ), is an important festive holiday, and is commonly referred as Dia de Los Tres Reyes Magos, or Three Kings' Day. It is traditional for children to fill a box with fresh grass or hay and put it underneath their bed, for the Wise Men's horses. In Puerto Rico many artisans make commemorative historical figures of the Magi on horseback. The Three Wise Men of Puerto Rico, according to local tradition, arrive on horseback instead of camels as in other countries where the custom is also ingrained. The three kings will then take the grass to feed the horses and will leave gifts under the bed as a reward. These traditions are analogous to the customs of children leaving mince pies and sherry out for Father Christmas in Western Europe or leaving milk and cookies for Santa Claus in the United States. On the day before the feast (January 5), the "Rosario de Reyes" or "Promesa de Reyes" is celebrated with songs (aguinaldos) promised to be sung to the Kings, usually before a little table with figures of the Nativity and the Kings or with the Kings alone and their camels. This celebration is accompanied with a chicken soup, snacks, and drinks.

Aguinaldo

On January 06, 2023, El Dia de los Tres Reyes Magos, Sesiones Desde La Loma Ep. 33 featured Grupo Mapeyé: Orquesta Criolla Nacional de Puerto Rico playing typical aguinaldo. In Puerto Rico, the aguinaldo is a musical gift offered during the Christmas season and is a tradition inherited from the island's Spanish colonizers. As a musical gift, aguinaldos are mostly played by "parranderos" or "trullas" during the Christmas holidays. While parrandas, showing up at a residence late at night, with a group of Christmas carolers, is a practice that is slowly being lost in Puerto Rico, a Puerto Rican aguinaldos album debuted in the top 10 Billboard Tropical Albums in December 2019. In 2016, Grupo Mapeyé, was nominated in Latin Grammy Award for Best Folk Album in 2016 with "En Las Islas Canarias" in the 17th Annual Latin Grammy Awards.

Originally, aguinaldos were "villancicos" with strong religious connotations but soon evolved to "coplas" (quartets) and "decimas" (ten-verses compositions) about all kinds of everyday topics. Aguinaldos were played with typical instruments such as the bordonúa, a tiple, a cuatro, a carracho or güiro, a cowbell, barriles de bomba, an accordion, and maracas. With bordonua players becoming more difficult to find, the guitar became a staple accompanying the cuatro. Today, panderos (also known as "pleneras"), brass instruments and whatever makes noise, are used.

As a genre, the aguinaldo is played mostly on the radio on key Christmas holidays in Puerto Rico; the day before Christmas and in Christmas, on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, and the day before Three Kings Day and on Three King's Day (January 6). Aguinaldos are also played at Christmas church celebrations.
