A swinging melody on the piano starts up and the lights begin to flicker on in a ramshackle bar. The music starts to keeps time for the people on the dance floor, embellished their swinging dance steps with syncopated rhythms. The clear sound of a trombone is heard, accompanied by the boisterous conversation and raucous laughter; these are the sounds of roadhouses and honkey tonks from ages past, where hard working folks would gather to drink, dance and listen to music. And, as the mellow seductive sound of the saxophone would suggest, also stir up memories and even romance, fueled by the amber glasses of liquid courage served up by the bucketful! On this album, you will hear folk songs from all corners of the world blended in the free and happy rhythms of the blues. It is almost as if friends from around the world, have travelled and come together to tell stories and share the songs of their homelands. The free-spirited “El Carretero” is tells of the enchanting nights of Havana. The soothing and melancholy “Going Home” portrays the undulating waves of the Vltava River. “Dounann Kudoki” describes the desolate and magnificent coastline of Hokkaido with unique, psychedelic colors. The Indonesian song “Sing Sing So” transports us to Sumatra and a tropical rainforest set on the edge of a volcanic lake in the silvery light of the moon. Many distant musical scenes, are translated into something beautiful and new, being given a lively blues interpretation. Following the “When The Blues Meet Chinese Folk Music” album, Rhymoi Music continues its unique musical path and has opened a new musical fantasy where the Blues and classic folk songs from around the world can meet on the same plane. Folk songs are the poems of the people,they have their roots deep in their native soil. They are both phantoms carrying forgotten memories and like the petal flowers scattered in every corner of the world. Their beauty is pure and unaffected. The same is true of the Blues; a unique musical form with its roots in Africa, later reaching is maturity in the pop culture of the United States. Here, the Blues becomes the master of ceremonies, welcoming all who decide to stop by to share their own songs. This is Blue for everyone, the classic songs of people from around the world, eager to share some special golden moments full of joy and relaxation. The American artists who were involved in the recording of the “When The Blues Meet Chinese Folk Music” album, once again gathered Los Angeles under the auspices of producer Ye Yunchuan. Ross Garren also returns and is still composing, together with Nick DePinna, from Macau. Although they have different backgrounds, they have formed a deep friendship in more than ten years of cooperation. He has performed with the King of Blues, BB King, and has won many Grammy Awards. Russell, who played piano on the album, is considered a mentor by these two young composers. He taught at the University of California at Los Angeles. Also appearing is Nick's wife, Hitomi Oba, who demonstrated her superb saxophone performance skills. In addition, she also contributed her own generous and hearty songs to the album with two other famous singers, Chelsea Williams and George Krikes. This group of musicians from different countries and regions, who have different native languages have been joined in by friendship, love and affection, through music of the Blues as a common language to rediscover this folk songs from many lands. They are soft and warm, and they always have a whimsical musical interaction, plus the superb skills of the famous mixer Dave who made albums for pop stars like Michael Jackson, Madonna, Pink, etc., making this Blues album pure GOLD! May this world of harmony extend to the ends of the earth, bringing a pleasant and enduring spiritual experience to everyone. 编曲简介： Ross Garren 作曲家，钢琴及口风琴演奏家，南加州大学作曲专业的优秀毕业生，目前居住在美国加州洛杉矶市。作为一名非常活跃的自由音乐人，他曾与Ben Golds、Kesha、Marco Beltrami、Austin Wintory等名家共同录制唱片，并多次获得由美国作曲家协会颁发的年轻爵士作曲家奖。在日常的演出及创作活动之外，他也是圣丹斯研究所音乐与声音设计部门的特别会员，并任教于美国洛杉矶音乐学院。 Nick DePinna 作曲家，音乐制作人，毕业于加州大学洛杉矶分校，曾在James W.
