Move My Body

"Move My Body" written & performed by Debbie Valentina

The latest from 2014 Latin Grammy nominee, Mister G. An all-original, indie, bilingual album featuring Latin superstars from around the world. Available worldwide on June 23, from Coil Records. 

Dubbed a “kid-friendly, bilingual rock star” by The Washington Post, Mister G enlisted dozens of his compadres to collaborate on the album. The result is a unique fusion of salsa, jazz, Tejano, bolero, folk and rock featuring major Latin luminaries from around the world.

Recorded in studios as far flung as New York, Los Angeles, Buenos Aires, Miami, San Francisco, Amsterdam, San Antonio, and Boston, Los Animales is a true multicultural, international project.  Some of the biggest names in Latin Jazz lend their virtuosic talents to the album, including 4-time GRAMMY award winning pianist Arturo O’Farrill, 3-time GRAMMY award winning bassist Oscar Stagnaro, and 2-time GRAMMY winning drummer, Vince Cherico.

The album kicks off with the electrifying piano playing of Arturo O’Farrill on the title track, accompanied by Mister G’s driving acoustic guitar, and a chorus of bilingual children.  Next up is “Vamonos” (Let’s Go), a celebratory song about visiting the zoo, which begins by posing the question, “¿Cuál es tu animal favorito?” (What’s your favorite animal?).  “Siete Elefantes” is a counting song brimming with traditional Latin percussion instruments (timbale, guira, bongos, congas); the music video was animated by Argentinean-based collaborators who have created several videos for Mister G (Cocodrilo, The Bossy E).

The captivating Tejano sounds of “La Rana” (The Frog), and “El León y la Luna” (The and the Moon), were recorded in San Antonio by 13-time GRAMMY winning producer/engineer Gilbert Velasquez.  The rich, playful vocal styling of the great Cuban singer, Estrella Acosta, enlivens both tunes. “Baila Como Las Hormigas” (Dance Like the Ants) is a full-blown fiesta written and recorded in Miami with GRAMMY-winning, Puerto Rican salsa artist, Marlow Rosado. “Buenos Noches” (Good Night), a duet with Brazilian singer Mari Nobre, sends young listeners off to sleep for a night of sweet, animal-filled dreams.  Acclaimed Mexican artist Marcos Almada Rivero created the folkloric-inspired original art for the album.

One of the leading figures in the children’s music world, Mister G had an award-winning career performing for adults prior to earning a masters degree in elementary education and focusing on making music for children.  Awarded the first songwriting scholarship in the history of Berklee College of Music, Mister G is a prolific writer, and Los Animales is his 6th release for children in the last six years.  He regularly headlines major venues throughout the US including the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), Hard Rock Café (Philadelphia), Coolidge Corner Theatre (Boston), The Getty Museum (Los Angeles), National Zoo (Washington, DC), and Chicago Botanic Garden (Chicago).  A national tour follows the release of Los Animales, which will continue into Latin America in 2016.

Los Animales will be available from Mister G’s website (www.mistergsongs.com), Amazon, iTunes, and other retailers in June.  All pre-release sales of Los Animales will be donated to The Humane Society of the United States and Mexico.

	



08 Baila Como Las Hormigas

SOLO TU / STILL LIFE

Love blossoms not just for those we meet and care for, but for great art as well. Case in point, Kellerman found himself deeply enraptured with the 2002 film Frida, which tells the story of surrealist Mexican painter Frida Kahlo and her husband Diego Riviera. Kellerman became equally enraptured with a single, exquisite moment in the film’s soundtrack, which he re-imagines here with lush and evocative orchestration.

06 Solo Tu  Still Life

TO TANGO TIS NEFELIS

Inspired by Greek singer Zaris Alexiou’s rendition, Kellerman sculpts his own interpretation of this sinuous musical myth through tantalizing percussion, sparkling guitar, and his signature storytelling flute. Taryn Louch’s entrancing vocal performance tells of the cloud nymph Nefelis, who is pursued and treated ill by two mischievous angels who become enamored with her. Mighty Zeus steps in, though, and transforms her into a cloud so that she can be free from torment — a bittersweet reminder that love does not always play out as we might expect it to.

07 To Tango Tis Nefelis

SHENANDOAH

Though this traditional American folk song has come to possess several different sets of lyrics, one story stands out: The tale of a love between a French trader and the daughter of a Native American chief that serves as a bridge between worlds. Kellerman illustrates the classic tune with flute, choir, and beyond.

09 Shenandoah

The love of brotherhood, whether forged by blood or circumstance, can be unbreakable. Just look at the partnership forged between Kellerman and his Winds of Samsara collaborator, Ricky Kej, as proof of how mutual respect and admiration can span oceans and result in beautiful works of art — including this powerful and uplifting track, which the team composed, recorded, and produced together across thousands of miles. “Aishwarya” tells the story of a young country girl seemingly destined for a simple life of domesticity. Instead, she summons the courage to disrupt tradition and defy expectations, to leave her home and study, to build a better life for herself, her family, and her community. This beautiful arrangement speaks to the love we must have for ourselves in order to make great risks — and follow even greater dreams.

WINTER 
(featuring Soweto Gospel Choir) 

Is love an art? Then it requires knowledge and effort. — Erich Fromm

Great classical composers like Antonio Vivaldi have spoken the language of love with unmatched fluency, translating its transcendent power into timeless melodies and harmonies. Here, an excerpt from Vivaldi’s beloved Four Seasons is given new life through the vivid voices of the Soweto Gospel Choir— and Kellerman’s unmistakable solo flute voice leading the way.

The Corrs - Intimacy (Catherine Duc Infinite Remix)

Official Music Video:  https://youtu.be/Uva_OgLlT-U

Captain America, is a patriotic anthemic pop/rock song that asks each of us to find our inner superhero. We are all or can be “Captain America” in our daily lives. We can be kind, we can be courageous, we can be inclusive, we can aid the weak, help those less fortunate, we can be tolerant, we can accept, we can fight for equality, we can denounce hate, we can help one another, we can support human rights, we can forgive, and most importantly we can love. 

One voice may not be heard, but millions together will not be silenced.

Together we can move towards an America and a world, where everyone is equal and accepted for who they are, and where human rights are at the forefront for all of us. .

Patriotism is the love of ones country and the willingness to sacrifice for it. Captain America is the true Patriotic - Super Solider. I am Captain America… are you?
