New Album | Doble Jugada

Posted on 06. Nov, 2011 by in Latest News

I produced a new album of my Salsa project “Doble Jugada”. You can get your own copy for only $4,50 here!

Doble Jugada is a Salsa project based in the Netherlands. Fabian, Nando and myself, we are creating our music completely by ourself.  From the composition and arrangement to the recording, mixing and mastering. Everything is coming from the same house.

Also I would like to remind you that you can get a free download at our website  and at  noisetrade.com where you can also donate money if you think this project should continue to exist.

Recording session

Posted on 01. Nov, 2011 by in Latest News

Today I am recording some piano tracks for the new album of Alberto Caicedo. It is going to be a very personal album with lots of salsa and colombian folclore influences.
All songs are arranged and almost all songs are composed by Alberto. Great music.
