“Gerardo Miguel
Maza’s “Rainforest Awakening”
evokes the magic and mystery of a shaman journey”.
Serge Kahili King, author
of Urban Shaman
“Poly rhythms and multiethnic
instrumentation together with nature sounds make this a fascinating
and exotic release.”
White Swan
“Maza”s music is important.
It expresses transcendence of differences and calls for
the harmony that is so badly needed among all that occupy this
fractured planet.”
Joanne Yamada, Honolulu
Weekly Newspaper
“Inspired to save the worlds’
rain forests, the artists create intricate, organically
interweaving, expansive music combined with rich nature sounds,
cacophonies
of verdant rainforest life. Ranging from meditative pieces to
dynamic tunes, there’s
a free form musical essence that is appropriate to the accompanying
random
movement of weather, light, creature sounds and wind. Nature sounds
simply weave
through with a great deal more authority than heard in most albums.”
Acacia for Heart song Review
“This album is a celebration
of the beauty and importance of tropical rain forests
worldwide, and is intended to draw attention to the insane destruction
of rain forests particularly in Asia and South America. The contents
offer musical inspiration for personal visions of jungle beauty
perhaps even visions of the remaining shreds of virgin rain forests
here in Hawaii.”
John Berger, Honolulu Star Bulletin
“Maza is a talented, versatile
musician, carrying off a complex Spanish guitar solo with as much
ease as a Moroccan frame drum beat; his voice is like warm honey.”
P. J. Birosik, New Age Retailer
“A varied offering this, with many moods
to suit many tastes and a little different too. Melodic and interesting
at all times, this is one recording that provokes thought, bears
repeated listens, and leaves a warm glow.”
“The Sound Mind “ magazine
