About the Album

Trumpeter Rachel Therrien 's eighth album Mi Hogar II continues her exploration of Latin jazz, building upon the foundation she laid with her 2023 release Mi Hogar. The title, which translates to "my home", reflects Therrien's deep connection to her musical community and the myriad influences that have shaped her sound. In Mi Hogar II, Therrien collaborates with a distinguished ensemble of musicians, enriching the album's sonic palette. Notable guest artists include the legendary bassist John Benítez; the acclaimed Cuban-Canadian duo OKAN; Cuban piano virtuoso Danae Olano; Grammy- winning vocalist and violinist Mireya Ramos; renowned Cuban pianist and composer Manuel Valera; powerhouse Cuban percussionist Keisel Jiménez; and the powerful and expressive Puerto Rican saxophonist Iván Renta. The album features a diverse array of compositions, including Benitez’s lively changuii Fiestas Campesinas, the introspective Back Home, and the original arrangement of Mambo 'Chucho' Influenciado. Each piece reflects Therrien’s commitment to blending traditional Latin rhythms with contemporary jazz elements. With Mi Hogar II, Rachel Therrien delivers a compelling new chapter of her musical journey, celebrating the rich traditions of Latin jazz while embracing innovation and collaboration. The album stands as a testament to her artistry and the vibrant community of musicians who bring her vision to life. Mi Hogar II will be released worldwide on Friday, March 7th, 2025 on Lula World Records.
