Dave @dave_shul_guitar has been involved in the Ba Dave @dave_shul_guitar has been involved in the Bay Area music scene for the past 35 years as a songwriter, producer and guitarist. Dave is the co-writer and producer of my new album, Tocar las Estrellas. I’m thankful that he helped push me to try new styles and make these songs the best they could be. His versatility landed him gigs with Ozomatli, Sly and Robbie, Lenny Williams, Jennifer Holiday, Counting Crows, Pink and Billy Preston to name a few. He was also a member of Michael Franti and Spearhead for 14 years writing over 30 songs over the span of seven albums. In his spare time he works with Bay Area youth musicians in bands and coaches them through his decades of experience.

San Francisco based guitarist whose earliest work can be found in the works and remixes of the Hardkiss brothers, including their remixes of Elton John, The Sandals, Mother and of course their own recordings. Soon after he formed his own Conga Club project as well as joined Spearhead with Michael Franti. 

He remains in the Bay Area and more recent projects include working with Cornell C.C. Carter, Jay Lane (Primus), Luis Enrique, Jason Becker, Latin Killers among others.
Thank you for listening to the new album ❤️ Thank you for listening to the new album ❤️

Happy Spring Equinox! I am so very proud to presen Happy Spring Equinox! I am so very proud to present my new album Tocar las Estrellas (Touch the Stars) which is my first album 100% in Spanish! It was co-written and produced with veteran musician/producer Dave Shul. He challenged every idea, pushing me to explore new styles and to make the songs the best that they could possibly be. As a result, it was a challenging and humbling experience, especially delving into the Spanish language, coming closer to my Bolivian roots. 

I want to thank my tia Elizabeth who helped my with my Quechua verse on Madre Tierra,  Peruvian poet Zezé Fassmoor @zezehace, who gave me feedback on my lyrics, and my brother Francisco who also played a big part. Three tracks (Ambicioso, Aprovecha, and Mientras) feature lyrical collaboration with Orlando Muñoz Garcia, a poet who I met years ago in 2006 while working in Caracas, Venezuela. 
 
The title track represents my life as a hopeful romantic, how the muses in life and love, like the Stars, are always out of reach, but yet always there for us to revel in their beauty and to inspire us to grow and create.
