About the Album
This calm meditative song--with lush harp, warm saxophone & sensitive cajón--uniquely fuses the Landó rhythm of Peru and the Tangos rhythm of Spain with Brazilian-esque melody/harmony for a serene track borne out of gratitude, created within & inspired by the iconic architecture of Valencia's City of Arts & Sciences. Five years in the making, this was originally written & recorded in 2019 while a masters student at Berklee's Valencia Spain campus as part of his thesis.
