Description of Hip-Hop Meditations

Hip-Hop Meditations is a record that gives you an opportunity to reflect on spirit, and life while listening to hip-hop music. It is first and foremost a hip-hop record, but not in the contemporary sense, it actually has something to say, and provides the listener with tools to look within and connect with the universe. It navigates through themes of love, spirit, and universal energy with organic sounds and driving beats. Beats that include traditional African bata drums used in Lucumi (Orisha worship) ceremonies.

This record is truly a journey and the documentation of Carlos' own spiritual awakening as the project was recorded as more of a musical journal over the last 2 years. It includes the musical souls that have come into his life as collaborators and it reflects his idea of everything being interconnected with the gentle layering of sounds and inclusion of so many voices and spirits.

The collaborations with Michael Spiro on Bata and Conga drums point to exciting musical possibilities where they may continue on this path of gentle, and respect filled rhythmic experimentation.

The spoken word work on this record is quite different from other spoken word work in that the music and sounds have been applied with purpose to each line pulling the listener in. Carlos guides you on a real journey and leaves you at peace.
