Title - Cosmic Synchronicities
Artist - Afro Peruvian New Trends Orchestra

This instrumental music project of multi-project artist Corina Bartra is multi-rhythmic and multidimensional, filled with swing and danceable South and Latin American rhythms. Corina Bartra originals, a majestic, Afro Peruvian Festejo modulating to a swing groove, Osiris, the exuberant, Amazon-inspired Ecstasy Green, the moving Lando Ballas Purple Heart, Bailan Todes la Razas, and Ebano Sky, are full of beautiful melodies, exciting and colorful rhythms.

Baila y Goza modulates between a Cuban Guajira and an Afro Peruvian Fetejo, Vinilo y Cafe, Latino Blues is Cuban-inspired and filled with catchy, danceable melodies and hooks, and Far Away is a Brazilian-inspired tune intermingling with swing rhythm, and is a breath of fresh air intertwined with surprising moments.

There are also three tracks that feature the Marinera style of Peruvian Creole Music. An original, Marinera Jazz, and the traditional Palmero Siguayayay, and a medley from Chabuca Granda, Tun Tun Tun - Le Herida Oscurea, filled with challenging grooves and rhythms to play, which all these top notch players in this recording have far met.

1. Ecstasy Green (4:57)
2. Bahia (6:20)
3. Palmero Siguayayay (3:41)
4. Osiris (8:33)
5. Latino Blues (7:13)
6. Tun Tun Tun - Le Herida Oscura (5:03)
7. Vinilo y Café (5:43)
8. Ebano Sky (5:28)
9. Purple Heart (4:56)
10. Far Away (3:35)
11. Bella Y Goza (6:27)
12. Marinera Jazz (6:27)
13. Bailan Todes la Razas (6:05)

This innovative repertoire, one pleasingly rooted in the thriving Afro Peruvian traditions, opens on the stridently-hued Ecstasy Green and the euphorically-charged Bahia, and they are followed by the traditional, regimented hipsway found within Palmero Siguayayay, the near nine minute musical masterpiece Osiris, and then we get the mesmerizing swirls and twirls within Latino Blues and the joyfully impassioned Tun Tun Tun - Le Herida Oscura.

The albums deliciously vibrant melodies and its most colorful rhythms continue onward with the sprightly Vinilo y Café and the dutiful Ebano Sky and they are in turn backed by the luxuriant Purple Heart, the gently fervent, for the most part, other times sumptuously-sculpted Far Away, the recording rounding out on the drum-fed Bella Y Goza, the dancefloor swirl of Marinera Jazz, closing on the plushly opulent Bailan Todes la Razas.
