Audio Storytelling Albums
Forthcoming in 2022
If my voices were a painting...
"... the paint brush would be dipped in Beethoven hues, shades of Sandro de América, a rainbow mixture of Django Reinhardt’s Romani jazz and Thelonious Monk improvisations, a bit of Blues, some blood red Flamenco, caramel coffee Cumbia, carnation pink Vallenato, African violet Mapalé, lilac panpipe flutes, the hypnotic rhythm of a copper penny pendulum, and the silences in between black holes. Those are the colors of the spectrum of my voices."
-Julián on how he characterizes the sounds of the six storytelling albums he is releasing in 2022.
