PRODUCT DETAILS
Puerto Rican Saxophonist and Composer David Sánchez has followed his acclaimed 2019 album 'Carib' with a years-long exploration of the commonalities found in seemingly separate communities. His travel took him from Loiza, Puerto Rico - first to Haiti where he studied field recordings and the work of Haitian masters - then to San Basilio de Palenque, Colombia where he collaborated with Palenquero percussionist Franklin Tejedor. Both communities, though separated by geography, are united by their Afro-descendant roots and by music's enduring role as a vessel of memory, identity, and freedom-whether in LoÃza's bomba seis corrido and seis rule or Palenque's lumbalú and it's rhythmic variations like mapalé and bullerengue. This next chapter in David's journey builds substantially on 'Carib,' showing the depth of his commitment and interest in the true story of musical evolution. "The African diaspora has played a crucial role in redefining music and culture throughout the Americas. From the first moment I encountered it, I felt a deep nourishment and connection to my ancestors." - David Sánchez
