Single from my forthcoming album.
Featuring the hauntingly beautiful voice of Reka Fodor.

The album will, like my concerts, be a sonic journey, crafted to invoke deep emotion and a sense of purpose.

As always thank you for lending me your ears, hearts, and minds.

REKA

Transport yourself into a 90-minute sunset dance party in Puerto Viejo, as DJ Ferni artfully weaves organic electronica of Latin American heritage with deep tribal dance music, vibrant African rhythms, folkloric instrumentals and ancient rhythms.

DJ Ferni unites the most mystical and experimental universes of an open-minded downtempo with deep organic house,  chill out, and mystical dance music for an uplifting, elevating, ceremonial dance experience overlooking the turquoise blue waters and golden orange sky hues.

She artfully takes the sitar instrument of India and Native flutes on a journey to the African Safari, to the deserts of Morocco, across the ocean to the South American jungles of Brazil, and beyond into an ethereal Lumerian temple. 

Layers of percussion and energetic synth, floaty flutes, West African harps, along with deep vocal chants, angelic violin, uplifting sitar melodies, and organic earthy elements keep the vibes high.

Mar de Leva [Versión Remasterizada]

Mar de Leva

A song extracted from a concert in the jungle.
As always, thank you for lending us your precious ears.

Indeed, many great performances have been recorded, and we are glad to have them. But I think the greatest performances always elude, the camera, the tape recorder, the pen. They happen in the middle of the night when the musician plays for one special friend under the moonlight, they happen in the dress rehearsal just before the play opens. The fact that improvisation vanishes makes us appreciate that every moment of life is unique - a kiss, a sunset, a dance , a joke. None will ever recur in quite the same way. Each happens only once in the history of the universe. - Stephen Nachmanovitch

Guanaye - Recorded Live at HABITAS | Tulum 4.20.18

This was our Burning Man 2019 soundtrack.  We performed it at sunsets and saw love unfold deeply, time and time again, so I named it "Love Song".

Thank you all for lending us your ears, hearts, and souls.

Love Song

LOVE SONG

What a surreal existence we are all sharing at the moment.  Time is standing still now it seems.  The wait for an answer. The wait for the light at the end of tunnel, wherever we may be.   

I often think of my life pre corona virus and I feel it took, place ages ago.  In some other distant time when almost everything was a given.   Not now though.   

Only thing that is a given now is the power of love. 

The power of compassion. 
The power of empathy.  
The power of inwardness. 

The power of realizing that nothing is ever to be taken for granted.  

The power of gratitude.    

We are in a part of the world that allows us to suspend our reality here and there.  I plunge in the ocean as if the water is oxygen. Every drop on my body reminds me to breath the air.  To be present and to remember that the water I feel is the same water someone else feels on the other side of the seemingly infinite horizon.  
But it’s not infinite.  Nothing is.  
Only love.  
Love is infinite.  
Love is everything. 

And so is music.  

It is what has brought me all thats is pure in my life.   
That is true.  
This is why you’re listening now. 
This is why it’s never more important to feel, to taste, to hear  and see music.  It’s why I’ve called you to us.  It’s why my brothers are with me today. 

Please close your eyes now. 
Let’s suspend our reality and allow immense optimism reign. 

Thank you for lending us 
your ears
Your hearts 
And your souls.

Mardeleva | COVID 19 Quarantine Live March 24 2020

We spent all day meditating with music, whilst the the tape was rolling as they say.  This is a raw recording, unaltered, shared as it was in the moment.

We had a very special gust with us.

As always, thank you for lending me your ears.

MARDELEVA | Studio Jam - 19/7/2020

Whenever I have uninterrupted time with brothers, to create something from nothing, I'm reminded of how precious life is.
Here are 35 mins of such time.

We pressed record and played.  As aways with Mardeleva, improvisation is everything.

Thank you for lending me your ears.

Navegante es una banda Marabina nacida a finales de Noviembre del 2014 por César Villarroel y Moisés Valbuena (anteriormente miembros de Cinco Minutos Más), influenciados por géneros como el Melodic Hardcore, Post-Hardcore y Metalcore e inspirados en cuentos de mar, mezclados con la vida diaria y la dura cotidianidad que se vive todos los días.

A finales de Septiembre y principios de Noviembre durante su salida del proyecto 'Cinco Minutos Más', tuvieron contacto con Kenneth Dickson para integrarse en la batería y sacar adelante este proyecto nuevo. A mediados de Diciembre se une David Paredes, quien duró poco durante la formación de la banda para poder dedicar más tiempo a su propio proyecto. A finales del mismo mes y casi al instante, se incorpora a Daniel Fuenmayor en la guitarra principal, definiendo el sonido, la melodía y reforzando la temática de la banda.

Ya a mediados de Enero, durante los primeros ensayos se define la estructura y el concepto musical de la banda como tal y a finales de Enero se integra a Alvin Puentes como guitarrista rítmico,dando el toque de agresividad que la banda buscaba, complementando la melodía del género y creando así un sonido híbrido de pesadez y melodía. 

Durante los acontecimientos internos dentro del proyecto a mediados de Junio, Kenneth Dickson es sustituido en la batería por Ruben Labarca (Cinco Minutos Más) y a inicios de Agosto, durante el proceso de composición, Daniel Fuenmayor se retira del proyecto por motivos personales, dando paso al retorno de David Paredes en la guitarra completando así la alineación del proyecto.

En Noviembre del 2015 se liberó a través YouTube la pre-mezcla del single "Mar de Leva", tema promocional de su primer EP titulado del mismo modo y ahora disponible en Soundcloud y Bandcamp.

Actualmente, se encuentran en proceso de grabación de su segundo tema titulado "Contracorrientes" el cual tendrá la participación del vocalista Alejandro Villalobos (Frente de Ira), bajo la dirección y producción de Ronald Dos Santos (ex-guitarrista de Leyla) y del equipo recién formado de Vanguardia Records.

Eduardo Castillo’s music encompasses his depth in the study of the industry and influences stemming from a South American and European upbringing. His studies in music compositions, orchestration and opera provide him with a vast understanding of harmonies, dynamics, and musical textures. Eduardo uses a subtle ethnomusicologist’s approach to music. His record collection reads like a music history book. In fact, his eclecticism is quite enticing. Sounds of Jazz, Avant-Garde, Middle Eastern, South American, Afro-Cuban folk, Soul, Funk, and Electronic Minimalism, can be heard in his compositions, his singing, his dj sets, and his playing of instruments, whether in their pure from or intertwined with down, mid and up-tempo electronic treatments. Ultimately, simplicity is what Eduardo strives for. An effort is always made to have fresh, organic sound while inevitably providing touches of technological advances shaping music today, never overwhelming and always sophisticated and tasteful.

Eduardo's mission is to always become a storyteller from beginning to end. Every record he plays has a very important intention. The music in his selections does not just fill time, it weaves in and out with dynamic and texture. The music and his improvisational live shows are brush strokes on a canvas that once he's reached the end, will look like a world of realism and fantasy all in one. He's a master at layering the musical with the technical and the surreal with the real.

Eduardo always leaves an indelible mark with his style and impeccable understanding of his environment.
