Finish the Adelaide Album
Hello Everyone! As many of you know I have been very busy recording, investing and finishing my new Adelaide album. It has been an awesome adventure recording and making music with incredible people all the while filled with excitement that we are onto something hip and new and can't wait to share it with the world.
We have a few more things we got to do before the album is pressed and printed and in our hands. I have managed to fund the project up to now, but I have found myself a little short on cash and very close to the finish line. Those of you that know me personally know I'm not the type of person who feels comfortable asking for favors, I debated for a while whether or not to post a donation page, but I'm going to reach out to you all on this one because of how important this album is to me and how much I believe in it.
About the Adelaide album
The "Adelaide sound" stems from being hired last year by Disney to create a band that performed Rock en Español and Cumbia. The musicianship and chemistry amongst its band members began to evolve and classic Latin tunes began to have a new sound all of their own, which then led to creating originals songs. Adelaide mixes cumbia with rock, blues, salsa, hip hop, reggeaton, funk, jazz, and pop but does it so cohesively that instead of many different styles at once it meshes together to create it's own identity. This 11 track album (7 original arrangements and 4 original songs) were recorded by the following:
Adelaide Pilar Benavides- vocals and trumpet
Norman Jackson - keys, arranger
Fyto Perez - Guitar
Clevor Alverado - Bass
Johnathon Rodriguez - Drum set
Giancarlo Anderson - Percussion
With guest appearances from:
Grupo Fantasma
Cindy Shea - trumpet and founder of Mariachi Divas
Nocy Korkour
Gabriel Gonzalez
* one special guest yet to be revealed
