People from all over the world! We are Pargazz from Mexico! Our music is gypsy jazz; It is an incredible magical experience to play inside a cemetery in Todos Santos. It was quite an experience to have recorded music as incredible as Django Reinhardt's with Josh.

Being from Mexico has taught me to fight for my dreams, to respect my family, everyone and everything that surround me," André explains. "Since I was a child I listened to rancheras, José Alfredo Jiménez was my hero with Pedro Infante and Jorge Negrete.

The ability to express one’s inner feelings in Gugu Yalanji is a beautiful space & responsibility to be standing in. The feeling I get from singing this song live is one of empowerment, one of cultural identity, and to sing about Kalkurr (meaning ‘the road’).

This session was a profoundly impactful experience for me, allowing me to connect with my singing and my fellow musicians in a very organic and emotional way. Through these songs, I was able to address topics that are important to me, such as identity and mental health.

The Bolero is a music that is integrated into our day to day and gives the space to be able to express love or heartbreak in a very special and very simple way. We believe a resurgence of this genre is possible as in the golden age.

This land has allowed us to expand our creative womb and transmute many emotions and experiences through music. It is a land of abundance and freedom, where the desert meets the sea, which much like the creative womb contains multitudes.

DC is secretly a city of artists and creatives. Underneath the rumble of politics and preppy suits, are people who love to sing and dance and will go to see any type of show at any time. I love to play for DC people, omnivorous listeners who are eager to get lost in music.much like the creative womb contains multitudes.

I’ve always felt a strong connection to this city, and I think I always will. It holds a lot of family memories, it has seen me at my absolute best and worst, and it’s always here for me- sometimes freezing cold with four feet of snow, but begrudgingly welcoming, bursting with new ideas, and full of the smartest and most creative people I’ve ever met.

This is a love song and a goodbye song wrapped up into one -- I think there are moments in all of our lives when two things are pulling us apart, and that's what I wanted to capture when I wrote Leaving Philadelphia. I'd been sitting on this one for over a year looking for the right people to bring it to life when this session came along, so I'm lucky to have gotten to record it in such fast company. This song holds a special place for me, and so do the people playing it with me.

Long Slow Burn is a song about feeling stagnant in a nascent relationship out of fear that you could never be fully loved if you truly exposed yourself. I wrote it during a point in my life where I wanted so desperately to connect to people around me but felt the weight of my traumas holding me back. Admitting that I was afraid of being seen as a collection of experiences has allowed me to form deeper connections with people in my life and to become more than said experiences.
