Me & Julio / New York Voices + Gabriel Hahn + Kevin Fox + Kaichiro Kitamura

When searching for the material for the Paul Simon project; Kim Nazarian thought this tune might make a nice female lead, and sit nicely in the samba groove. Darmon Meader did the bulk of the arranging; but her ideas popped in with the Harry Belafonte influenced Call and Response section with the lead vocal and drums, and the humorous amount of modulations! Our first attempt at doing this arrangement purely A Cappella started with a collaboration with the amazing The Swingles; then turned into this smaller version as we were invited to participate in some International A Cappella Festivals. Please enjoy the added incredible talent of Gabriel Hahn, Kevin Fox, and Kaichiro Kitamura 北村嘉一郎!!

Riley Marbutt- I liked how in control of their cutoffs they were, some you can’t hear at all and some are very noticeable. Though I don’t particularly enjoy this type of music.
