POV: you walked into Central Market
just to pass through…then you hear it.
A sax somewhere in the distance, a rhythm pulling you in, and suddenly you’re standing still, trying to figure out where it’s coming from.
You turn the corner…and there it is.
A table, a band, and a whole night you didn’t plan for.

Just starting the tour! This past Friday we shared some of my compositions with the music family in Malaysia, the wonderful Wli Cheah (piano, Malaysia), Juan Carlos Allende (percussion, Cuba) and Fly (bass, Malaysia) at the cozy music house ‘Bartolo’ in Kuala Lumpur.
It was also a joy to have the legendary master percussionist, maestro Steve Thornton as a special guest during the second set. We ended up going Latin!! 😁
Big thanks as well to the wonderful audience who came out- true music lovers!! ✨🌱❤️
Blessings!! ✨🙏🏼
