Em 2013, embarquei numa peregrinação musical sem data definida para descobrir e absorver a essência das culturas regionais da América Latina. Minha jornada se desenrolou de forma incrivelmente aberta, sem um plano exato — guiada pela intuição, instinto e curiosidade. Onde quer que eu fosse, perguntava sobre a música regional e seguia as respostas, chegando apenas com a mente aberta e meus pertences nas costas. Isso me deixou receptiva a todas as oportunidades que surgiram — e, na maioria das vezes, funcionou.

He plays what he believes in. Soul, rock, the blues. Tom Petty at midnight. Clarence Clemons on a Tuesday. He talks to the city through its worst nights and its best ones, marries and loses and loves again, watches the industry he gave his life to swallow itself whole.
