Comments: From the onesheet: "What kind of music would come from a person who was born the son of a diplomat in Algeria, raised in various West African countries, educated in Montreal, and has called Quito, Ecuador home for the last 10 years? While the answer might surprise you, it certainly won't disappoint. Sarazino's music takes an exotic array of ingredients, throws them into a musical pot and the result is spicy, a feast for the senses and leaves you wanting more."

The album serves as a sort of love letter to the various genres (of music, people and style) that inhabit our little ol' world, and Sarazino has penned a relentlessly upbeat and cool letter for anyone to read, regardless of language. Tracks 1, 2, 4 and 8 are muy bien.
