Grammy Nominated Musician Bobby Shew Introduces Saponegro's feature Artist Gabriel Alegria and his new album Nuevo Mundo

Here is an excerpt of Bobby Shew's interview. The whole thing can be found at Saponegro Records.

"Gabriel and his group are opening new doors musically for us all. The combination of these native rhythms with American jazz and latin traditions will in time prove to have been an important step forward in crossing cultural lines and mixing them in a very cohesive way. We
Americans are once again blessed by yet another South American musical gift!
I'm honored and thrilled to have been a part of its production. Let's all spread the word to our fellow musicians and, It needs to get heard!"
