My latest release with Global Wave, ”SONG OF THE QUETZAL” is finally out and distributed! This is the follow up E.P. to our debut album, ‘Original Love’. The inspiration for the songs came about on a sacred mountain in Costa Rica, during the lockdowns, where I encountered 2 rare Quetzal birds, famed in meso American legends for their double tail-feathers . Much of the music was composed in Costa Rica. I have enormous gratitude for the inspiration from that beautiful country, friends, musicians, waves and the Pura vida!
We’re lining up a tour for 2024 to promote the new E.P. ! Then watch this space!
