Directamente de El Barrio, NYC.  Spanish Harlem, baby. New York's East Harlem was hardest hit by covid19 but we're #NewYorkTough, resilient and resourceful under lockdown and created this happy song to resist a bad time. There's also a message of self-care and hope during this pandemic as well as a salute to our front line heroes in the joy of this tune. Sing along, dance to the beat, and share this message of joy.

La plena Puertorriqueña es voz del pueblo Nuyorquino dandole resistencia al mal tiempo con esta buena cara de musica que también nos deja un mensaje de autocuidado y esperanza mientras le damos las gracias a esos heroes luchando por nosotros. Durante esta cuarentena, disfruta, baila y comparte este mensaje de alegría y resistencia al aislamiento.

Produced with cell phones, musical director Antoine Alvear put the music together after receiving my track. He reached out to his brother and friends in Chile for the horns and it was mastered and finalized in the home studio of David Heredero. A Nuyorican tribute of grit and team effort released April 15, 2020, the visuals reflect our present, the words remind us to keep distance, while the beat captures our gratitude to those holding up the fort of our hopes for the future. 

Rompiendo el Aislamiento: La PlenaCorona surgió como flor de Lotus en fango. El destacado pianista y arreglista Chileno Antoine Alvear produjo la canción contando con la ayuda de su hermano y otros músicos actualmente en Chile que pusieron los metales, se los enviaron electrónicamente a Antoine quien se lo envió a nuestro amigo David Heredero que lo finalizo en su estudio de casa en Chelsea. 

From our "casas" to yours.
