12 MP3 Songs
FOLK: Folk Pop, LATIN: Brazilian Jazz
Details:
“Yaxche Live” is an audio postcard, an evening captured with sparks and dynamic colors flying between this versatile, world infused artist and the vibrant community for whom she performed. You can hear the joy and excitement exuding from both Erika and the audience. This unique recording is a first for Erika Luckett: a live performance captured like a genie in a bottle. You can feel the sweat and hear the spontaneous spoken word poetry that hallmarks Erika’s live performance but which has never been commercially released. You can hear it now: new tracks (Sunflower, Cascada, I Hear You Call) as well as old favorites recorded with the distilled purity of voice and guitar. “Yaxche Live” is a study of intimate and high octane connection between artist and listener.
"Erika''s music is challenging to capture----describing what happens during her transmission, would be like trying to explain the way the sunrise casts light across birds in flight. Her energetic exchange transcends the power of sound, and penetrates the heart like no other musician I have ever experienced" – Eileen Pedersen, Director Yaxche School
The recording of this album reflects Erika’s generous heart and commitment to community. It is the product of a benefit concert for the Yaxche School in Taos, NM. In addition to having the proceeds of the concert benefit the school’s scholarship fund, CD sales will help provide opportunities for Hispanic and Native American students in Northern New Mexico. Buy the music and help support this outstanding school.
Here is a quote from Erika included in the liner notes: “I had the wonderful opportunity of discovering the Yaxche Learning Center on October 20, 2005 when I performed a benefit concert for their Hispanic Scholarship Fund. I was so inspired by the school and its guiding principles that I decided to record the evening’s show. This CD captures the energy of the discovery. It’s a musical photograph of a moment, a flow of inspiration driven by the dialogue of live performance, of the interaction between me and this remarkable community. The Yaxche Learning Center sparks creativity, curiosity, critical thinking and fosters the notions that community, understanding of our interconnectedness, and wisdom that grows from both heart and mind are all fundamental parts of educating our children. I was inspired by what they are doing and am excited to share this joy and inspiration with you. Additionally, all the artwork on this CD was created by students at Yaxche. It’s a wonderful thing to feel our creative expression intertwined. You can find out more about this vibrant school at https://www.tradebit.com.”
A last note about this CD…digital downloads are great, but you’ll miss out on the stunning artwork and packaging that was created by the students at the school. Striking images, colors and design make this CD one you’ll want to hold and look at…as well as listen to, again and again.
“If you are familiar with Erika’s music, this album is like coming home….. If you have never heard her before---WATCH OUT!! You might just fall in love.”
