These songs were born from an encounter that only Lake Atitlán could host. Between volcano fire and deep waters, indigenous wisdom and local myth, the land itself shaped the dialogue of two artists: Lo.Renzo, Italian multi-instrumentalist and producer, and Laura Catharïna, Brazilian singer and producer, whose voice carries both fragility and strength, shadow and light.

Together they created music as a reflection of the lake — a place where inequality and beauty coexist, where ceremonies open portals to mystery, and where silence invites expression.

The result is an offering of sound that captures not only the essence of the land, but also the transformative power of meeting at the right time, in the right place.

Lo.Renzo & Laura Catharina - Cuatro elementos

Vṛṣṭi (वृष्टि, pronounced vru-shtee) is a Sanskrit word for rain, a cleansing and sacred force in Indian culture. From its first notes, the piece evokes the gentle stillness of a sky about to open — guitar harmonies shimmer like the first drops, and the bansuri enters with a breath of anticipation. As tabla rhythms emerge, the soundscape gathers momentum, mirroring the way clouds build and release their energy. The soprano saxophone soars into dialogue with the bansuri, weaving through the bass’s steady undercurrent, until the ensemble converges in a downpour that cleanses, uplifts, and transforms.

GRAMMY®-nominated artist Noshir Mody has brought together an extraordinary ensemble to breathe life into Vṛṣṭi. Matt Geraghty (2× Latin GRAMMY® nominee, bass) is a boundary-pushing producer and composer whose work documents and uplifts diverse musical traditions. Alongside him is tabla virtuoso Dibyarka Chatterjee, son of the esteemed global tabla master and founder of Chhandayan, Pandit Samir Chatterjee of the Farrukhabad gharana, carrying forward one of India’s most respected tabla lineages.

Completing the ensemble are two equally distinctive voices. Rasika Shekar, an internationally acclaimed flautist, vocalist, and composer, has performed with icons such as John McLaughlin, AR Rahman, and Shankar Mahadevan, and was featured on the GRAMMY®-winning album Divine Tides. Arun Luthra, one of New York’s premier saxophonists, is the creator of the groundbreaking Konnakol Jazz Project, blending post-bop jazz with the rhythmic language of Indian classical music and performing his work on stages worldwide.

In essence, Vṛṣṭi goes beyond its literal meaning, encapsulating the interconnectedness of nature, the divine, and human experience. The music flows as rain does — stillness giving way to movement, dialogue to release — leaving the listener with a sense of reflection, renewal, and awakening.

A bold, percussive re-imagining of Sade’s War of the Hearts, this remix pulses with the energy of samba drums while staying true to the song’s intimate soul. Layered rhythms underscore the timeless themes of yearning, heartache, and fragile hope. The stripped-down acapella intro invites the listener in before the groove blooms into a dance-floor-ready DJ tool. It’s both a tribute to Sade’s elegance and a celebration of raw, live percussion.

“Coca Lola” is a wavy street anthem that blends gritty storytelling with smooth Afro-fusion bounce. The track paints the picture of late-night temptation — a mysterious woman, half-truths, and a toxic love that feels sweet but dangerous. With slick flows, splashes of Spanish lines, and neon-lit vibes, it captures the rush of nightlife, heartbreak, and hustle all in one ride. Perfect for late drives, smoky sessions, and anyone who’s been caught up in the game of love and lies.

“Lovin’ You” is a stunning afropop journey layered with warmth and energy. Driven by a deep, addictive afrohouse groove, the track blends heartfelt male vocals with a shimmering atmosphere that feels both intimate and uplifting. The highlight comes in the soaring saxophone chorus hook—catchy, soulful, and impossible to forget—making this track a perfect balance of emotion and dancefloor power.

Noshir Mody is a stimulating and creative fusion guitarist displaying a beautiful tone, versatility, and inventive ideas on his picturesque originals. Throughout his career, he has recorded consistently rewarding and thought-provoking sets of original music. Mody recently released his latest set of picturesque and atmospheric jazz, A Burgeoning Consciousness where six of Mody’s originals are performed by a superior sextet comprised of the leader’s guitar, alto and tenor-saxophonist Mike Mullan, trumpeter Benjamin Hankle, pianist Campbell Charshee, bassist John Lenis and drummer Yutaka Uchida.

Throughout A Burgeoning Consciousness, Noshir Mody displays his own highly individual sound on the guitar along with a fresh imagination that reflects his wide musical experiences. Born and raised in Bombay, India, he was self-taught on guitar. Mody has stated that his early inspirations included Indian classical music, Al DiMeola's Elegant Gypsy, music from Bollywood, and rock along with the modern jazz guitar masters.

After moving to New York in 1995, Noshir Mody dedicated himself to creative music, regularly leading his own trio in clubs. His original conception to playing music was well showcased in his groups The EthniFusion Rock Ensemble and The EthniFusion Jazz Ensemble. Mody’s impressionistic playing and colorful originals were documented in his solo guitar recording In This World With You, his trio set Union Of Hearts and by his quintet on Stories From The Years Of Living Passionately.

Now, with the release of A Burgeoning Consciousness, Noshir Mody has taken another giant step forward with arguably his finest recording to date.

“…High art, as far as I’m concerned, one of the year’s stand-out cuts so far, within a CD that doesn’t brazenly demand re-listening but instead seduces. You’ll be tossing it into the player again and again without even realizing it."
Mark S. Tucker, Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange

“…A piece such as “The Next Chapter" flows like a stream for nine minutes, while on the sixteen minute “India" Mody has his guitar chords chime like bells and Uchida’s cymbals sashay the groove along like a spring breeze. A delicate ride cymbal taps along during “A Pearl Discovers the Oyster" and Mody’s solo beams across like a rainbow at sunset, just before the panoramic “To Be In Your Thoughts" closes this journey with optimistic notes of joy. As fresh and cleansing as a summer rain!"
