moving up

slavo rican assembly’s first single is out!

AUDIO TRACK AVAILABLE ON BANDCAMP AT: https://slavorican.bandcamp.com/track/slavo-rican-assembly-moving-up This song is a sort of a Slavo Rican anthem. It's about dealing with hardships in life, and getting out on top. The melody throws you a curve ball -- just like life -- but the chorus ends in a danceable Balkan fanfare that shows that no matter what the world throws at you, the good in people will always win out!

Music knows no boundaries!!! Very psyched and honored to be a part of this worldwide collaboration, featuring musicians from India, Serbia, Egypt, Slovenia, and Kuwait! Enchanting....dig the soprano solo at 2.06 by yours truly :) 

This song is a collaboration of two international, eclectic singer-songwriters - Vasuda Sharma from India and Aleksandra Denda from Serbia. The two met while studying at Berklee College of Music (USA), and after sharing a lot of musical moments together in Boston, reconnected in Bombay when Aleksandra came to India to teach as an Artist in Residence at the Global Music Institute.

A very special take of my original composition Faith from my last tour in Slovenia, September 2014. It was a great feeling to reunite on stage with old friends and amazing musicians, Marko Črnčec and
