5. Mosquito – by Emje Rose & Razteria.
It is rare to meet another female producer & Emje Rose is so much more. Representing the exotic sounds from the Colombian Caribbean, she reversioned “Mosquito”, bringing new life to one of my oldest tracks. A truely humbling experience, I thank Maiti Ruts of the iRadio show Pelagatos for bringing us together. I met Oscar Reyes at my sister in laws Fiesta de Navidad in the reputed party Barrio las Nieves in Baranquilla, Colombia, Christmas of 2016 & I look forward to future works fusing traditional with new music.

6. Todas las Voces- by Celeste y las Mil Jarillas & Razteria. 
Original music & lyrics by Julio Cesar Isella & Armando Tejada Gomez (“Cancion con Todos”). Our hearts crossed on the Subte (subway in Buenos Aires), where I met the excentric violin player of this Buenos Aires based, Patagonian origin, folklore band. This song originally made famous by Mercedes Sosa, is a South American anthem of solidarity.
