Abstract: Recorded in Milan

Abstract: As an avid music lover, and not necessarily of any given genre but of music that is vibrant and full of heart-wrenching stories as told by the people that created it, I was lucky enough to have grown up in the early sixties in NYC, coming from the Spanish-speaking extract of the Caribbean, and fortunate enough to experience this dynamic happening musically and culturally that was NYC in the sixties. While geography and segregation play a part to the music that you were exposed to on a daily basis, there was a special interchanging of ideas musically between the Afro-American communities and the Spanish-speaking Caribbeans who have been arriving steadily since the 40's, from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and to a lesser extend South America. While our parents were listening to more traditional Latin sounds like Bolero, Charanga and Merengue to name a few, their offspring were gravitating towards the Afro sounds of R&B and soul music.

Abstract: “La Mia Africa (“My Africa”) is here, today in Italy, the country that has welcomed me and that has given me the opportunity of another life thanks to music. My Africa is here, every time I sing, I compose, I direct. I call the Spirits and I travel. I travel to my grounds, I recreate it here, by the power of the song, by the energy of the voices, by imagination and rhythms.” Arsene Duevi
