RECORDINGS
New single, “Bahamas Soca”, out now.
Inspired by a vacation in the Bahamas, an instrumental in the soca (“soul of calypso”) style popular there and in other Caribbean islands. Got to hear that music live in several clubs.
Drums, bass, and guitar doing that infectious groove, with steel drums playing the head and soloing later, plus electric piano and synth solos.

New single, “Samba de Favela”, releasing 12/23.
Inspired by a film about the favelas (poor but artistic neighborhoods) in Rio de Janeiro, an instrumental samba featuring a battery of Brazilian percussion, guitar, bass guitar, and a combo of piano, synth and flute for the melody. With acoustic piano soloing.
