Bridges: A Musical Journey.
I want to record a collaborative
World Music album with musicians from 5 continents, including countries as Chile, Iran, Australia, Austria, Senegal, Colombia, Mexico, Singapore, France and Uruguay.
If we can raise more money, more countries will be included, and we will produce a multicultural album with musicians representing many other cultures!! The more we get, the more we can do!
MY MISSION
"Breaking the boundaries caused by cultural differences by engaging more people from different countries with different cultural backgrounds in a unique musical project"
"Preserving the cultural heritage through music by using diverse traditional musical instruments around the world"
In my 15 years with the band FRACTAL (www.bandafractal.com), I have discovered amazing sounds from the most diverse corners of the world. Fractal albums include instruments from 5 continents and a wide range of sounds and rhythms. Now, I want to connect musicians from different cultures to collaborate in my new project "Bridges".
