My good friend & colleague (in youth media education) Luis Maurette www.luismaurette.net has just released a follow up to his groupo especial LULACRUZA last album Soloina called CANTA, not only is the material a world-infused rhythmic exploration into traditional melodies, electronica & ethereal vocals, but it is also FREE to the world. (thanks Luis!)
Luis (hailing from Argentina & lots of time in the bay area/west coast) & songstress, Alejandra Ortiz (from Columbia) evoke the sound of a sampler plugging into a 100 year old tree in the rainforest with a mini-stereo mic catching the raindrops from leaves & mixed skillfully with the sultry vocal styling (quite sexy, might I add) of Alejandra as if she were a forest spirit playing in the mornings dew.
Peep the wonder from this sample mini-player right here & go download yourself a handful of esoteric loveliness right here DOWNLOAD CANTA.
Guaranteed to shake the hip & wriggle the soul, these 8 remixed tracks by a variety of finely handpicked artists bring a nice upbeat vibe & danceable form to this remix artist album.
This blurb from their album Soloina (with MJ Greenmountain) says it all:
Soloina is a visionary exploration into untamed landscapes. Hypnotic chants entwine through crackling layers of effervescent textures. Raw incantations, tribal drumming, and rainbow processing shower over electronic tropicalia.
SHARE & ENJOY & don't forget to support the artists by purchasing their 1st 2 albums, SOLOINA & DO PRETTY! Both masterful works in their own right.
