Meraki: to work with passion and with a love of all that you do. With an eclectic cast of friends and familiar collaborators - including Ian Ewing, chief., Sr. Guayaba, and more - Spanish producer Juan Rios brought together a family for this album. The illustrated scene of multiple portals connecting multiple worlds is all too fitting. Here we have a celebration. Of the music. Of the culture. Of the essence Juan Rios has cultivated, from start to finish with Meraki. Complete with vocals from Djemei aand Cráneo, this fourteen song LP already feels timeless. Even with darkness, even with rain, the passion remains.
