This is a collection of poetic songs that focus on the lyrics, both personal and political, drawn from his experiences in Italy, Canada and of course, his native Cuba. Evaristo has gathered an all-star band to present these songs that layer the Trova style with rock, urban, reggae and Afro-Cuban rhythms. Come out and enjoy some great music and help us toast the official release of this exciting CD.
