Of course, these are the moments that we live for. Music ignites the soul, rushing through you like nerves excitedly on fire. It is Canelo Rodriguez’s life affirming vocals just as it is the cool breeze blowing through the trumpet, as it is the joyful rhythm of the piano dancing, then the drums. I’m glad

You could say this record is all about the warmth of compassion. It also feels like sunshine rays or a night out dancing as it’s very much about rhythm, hot or otherwise. Resolutely musical, defiantly soulful but either way this likewise plays simply for the pleasure of it all. Rituals explores a fusion of styles

Dudas bites hard. Feels like a mystery unfolding. Sounds like music should in the upcoming story of 2024. Deep yet pulsing with soulful inquiry, meaningful in a very real sense.
