Ray Riveros
Raíces del Fuego
Digital Album
16.05.2025
This album marks both the end and the beginning of a cycle. It is a story, a great river of emotions and sensations, just like life itself—with its lights and shadows, its joys and sorrows. It is inspired by South America and the world, by colors, landscapes, and the human beings encountered on this journey, as well as those who have departed from it.
It is a tribute to the coldness of harsh realities and the warm simplicity of humanity. It is a tribute to the land where music takes root and blossoms in its infinite present moments.
This album was recorded live because it is a present moment, a real experience, with all its beauties and flaws. Because music is life, a present of light and shadow. It is like an element, a fire that can either consume everything or gather friends around it, warming the night, their smiles, and their songs.
