Released right before spring, the album symbolizes rebirth. It calls to the adventurer in each one of us to go beyond what we know, reach into the unknown, challenge ourselves to grow.
This album is groundbreaking in its richness, representing the synergy of collaborations with talented independent San Francisco Bay area artists and beyond.
Album artists include: Sang Matiz on title track Aventurera, Rahman Jamaal (Change, Once Again), Carolyn Smith (Zone, Can't Touch), Chatterbox (Take my hand), Seneca (Take my hand), as well as musicians from the Fyah Squad Band (Waddell Bell, Lou Neuburger, Little Sister, Life), Raliegh Neal (keys, Little Sister, Life), Jayme Arredondo (drums, Aventurera, Once Again, Take my hand, Zone), Anthony Ant (trumpet, Once Again, The World, Thankful, Can't Touch), Dave Eagle (percussion, Life, Take my hand, Thankful, The World, Winds, Can't Touch) and Luke Thomas (guitar, Little Sister, Life).
ALBUM NOTES
Thank you wonderous world, full of loved ones, near and far, may I live to see you once again and share life. I truly hope the changing sound winds help you to adventure outside the zone. I feel so blessed that I can share my obsession, my love story with sound, with you.
