After 6 months of struggling at trying my hand at producing and recording an album for a friend, it's finally finished. I still have a lot to learn. There's a crazy story to the meet up I first had with my friend Juan. I was sitting in a park with my guitar one day and this dude comes up to me. This was Juan Pablo whom I would later become good friends with. Well, it's not everyday you meet someone in a park who isn't a drug dealer. Juan had a band in Panama once. The band was destined to be finished for good. The guitarist passed away and the drummer ended up on the streets addicted to crack. I decided to help Juan remake some of these old songs which the band had. They never had a chance or money to pay for a proper record or a recording of any kind. I will never know how much this band influenced people in Panama, but it sounds like they once had a good following. Their lyrics were highly politically and socially fueled. I hope the old surviving band members and their fans can appreciate the work we put into this. Well, enjoy.
