For an unbroken span of seven days following my father's passing, a vivid vision graced my soul. In this profound reverie, I was granted a precious gift - a song that he earnestly wished me to share with the world. With a voice touched by both joy and sorrow, I offer this song to the world, just as my father envisioned. It is a song that embodies the beauty of love and the resilience of the human spirit. May it resonate in your hearts, carrying the legacy of a father's love and teaching, as it has in mine. This heartfelt 2D animation draws viewers into a realm of dreams and memories, where the bond between father and child transcends the boundaries of time. Lucid dreaming in this case has bonded the creation of this song, serving as a testament to the enduring power of love and the unbreakable bond between a parent and child. Leaving you with a profound sense of hope and appreciation for the memories that live on, forever guiding and comforting you in your journey through life.

The FRIENDS nights are a series of music that Ive curated to bring musicians together, to play music together that normally wouldn't have a chance to do so, in a musical setting thats tailored to my tastes that are outside the box of what you would normally hear at a night in a club. FRIENDS 5.0 was a tribute to the most sampled breaks, and the original artists that wrote, and performed them. This video features Kat Hendrix, the original drummer on the Apache Incredible Bongo Band Break, that was the anthem to NYC Underground parties with DJs such as Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash, Africa Bambaataa, and beyond. We were very honoured that Kat came down to sit in and play this timeless classic with us... Filmed by Nathan Fleming with Fine Tuned www.finetuned.ca

Los Duendes is a Roots Latin Fusion band based out of Vancouver, BC. Engaging timeless rhythms like Chicha and Cumbia and fusing Salsa, Jazz Fusion and African Highlife to create a unique on-trend sound that mirrors the vibrancy and diversity of contemporary Canadian culture. The term “Psych Cumbia” has found its place in Latin America as a way of referring to various different styles of tropical Latin American music. Los Duendes performs topicalized Andean guitar, folkloric african and afro-cuban rhythms with Soulful House and Jazz giving birth to a whole new danceable musical universe. Tener Duende loosely means having soul, a heightened state of emotion, expression and authenticity. The artistic and especially musical term was derived from the duende, an elf or goblin-like magical creature in Spanish mythology. El duende is the spirit of evocation. It comes from inside as a physical and emotional response to art. 'The duende is not in the throat; the duende climbs up inside you, from the soles of the feet.' It is what gives you chills, makes you smile or cry as a bodily reaction to an artistic performance that is particularly expressive. “This talented group has its finger on the pulse of today’s Latin music reconstruction, breathing new life into timeless rhythms like chicha and cumbia. Their on-trend sound mirrors the vibrancy and diversity of contemporary Canadian culture.” -Cal Koats "Los DUENDES brought me back to my travels in South America in the late 70's, particularly Peru. From the moment they played their first note they had the whole room up and dancing right up until their very last song... it was a joyous experience with a dash of the diabolical!" -Laurie Vanwycke "The Cowbell alone was worth the price of admission." -Ian Sandilands Instagram https://www.instagram.com/losduendesmusic/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/psychlatinfusion Twitter https://twitter.com/losduendesmusic TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@losduendesmusic?lang=en Website http://losduendesmusic.com/
