This project took four years to complete from start to finish, I can’t believe all of the twists and turns it took before the final completion. I couldn’t have dreamed up a better collaboration amongst musicians, friends and colleagues.

CHASING HORIZONS is a rhythmic fusion of:

• Samba ('Sunset Samba' feat. Jorge Strunz of Strunz & Farah)

• Montuno ('Vivir Libre' feat. Marty Friedman of Megadeth, solo artist)

• Milonga ('Amor Perdido' feat. Bucharest All-Star Orchestra of the Romanian National Symphony Orchestra)

• Rumba Flamenco ('Allende')

• Guajira ('Cubalia Café' feat. Ardeshir Farah of Strunz & Farah)

• 5/4 groove (Serein)

• 9/8 groove ('Return to Simitai' feat. Tri Nguyen on the Vietnamese Zither)

• 7/8 groove ('Chasing Horizons' feat. Nuno Bettencourt of Extreme, Rihanna)
