Little Sister (Lil Eyz) is a lively reggae-pop tune emanating the importance of nurturing relationships like sisterhood and family. This is Razteria’s personal message reaching out to her youngest sister whom she did not have the opportunity to grow up with. Fruit of an international collaboration, recorded at Live Oak Studio (Berkeley, CA), mixed by Kinyama Sounds (Geneva, Switzerland) and mastered by Justin Weiss TrakWorx (South San Francisco, CA).

Many thanks! Gracias! Merci Beaucoup! To my friends and family as well as to the powers of the Universe for giving me the opportunity to continue creating music. I hope that this track will make you smile 🙂

BOMBINO – http://www.bombinomusic.com/
Tuareg guitarist and singer Omara “Bombino” Moctar made his Nonesuch Records debut with the release of Nomad on April 2, 2013. The album was recorded with 2013 Grammy Award-winning Producer of the Year Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys at his Nashville studio, Easy Eye Sound. Nomad debuted at #1 on the Billboard World Music album chart and iTunes World chart and has earned rave reviews from top media outlets around the world including BBC World Service, which calls it “utterly, utterly fantastic” and Rolling Stone, which calls Nomad “a perfect match of sound and soul [that] introduces a new guitar hero.” His dazzling live performance and virtuosity on the guitar have led notable music critics to compare him to Jimi Hendrix, Carlos Santana, Neil Young, and Jerry Garcia.

RENEE ASTERIA – https://razteria.com/
Razteria can be described as a Fusion of early No Doubt and Sade. Her music unites Reggae, passionate Latin grooves and Rock, powerful messages and musical genius. Described as “musically adventurous” and “a one of a kind breaking of all rules” (C.
