Te traigo mi canto Magia tropical De porro y festejo Mi tierra de encanto Siempre volveré A anclar en tu puerto Te traigo mi canto Magia tropical Con un tamborero Mi tierra de encanto Yo te llevaré Y a coro te cantaré Solo quiero tu magia Siempre contagia Llena de gracia Solo quiero tu fuerza Quiero tu risa Quiero tu vibra

Así es la vida Como un juego sin lógica Así es la vida Una ruta astrológica Así es la vida Como un sueño en primavera Así es la vida Caprichosa a su manera

about

RITUAL
[ˈri-chə-wəl]

(adj.) 1. of or relating to rites or a ritual
(noun) 2. An act or series of acts regularly repeated in a set precise manner

The new music for Ritual is inspired by Afro-Colombian grooves (porro and cumbia) and Afro-Cuban influences (guajira, son and descarga). I unabashedly add to the mix Motown inspired bass lines (played on a Novation Bass Station II keyboard), jazz and Latin fuzzed electric guitar. Plus, a Brazilian singer (Flavia Nascimento) and a Cuban singer (Adan de Dios) add to create an original and universal electrified creole, amplified by the tropical street sounds (captured on the streets of Colombia). The result is an infectious collection of modern tropical dance-floor fillers.
