SOQ Project is the fresh and daring vision of a new tropical sound; a sound infused with passionate harmonies, contagious melodies and the addictive synergy of afro-Dominican rhythms with the Big Band sound reminiscent of the tropical orchestras of the 1970’s. For their first album as SOQ Project, Gian-Carla Tisera (Bolivia) and Arturo Peña (Dominican Republic) produce original, energy defying dance songs in the genres of Salsa, Merengue and Bachata. For the recording they brought together the talents of more than 25 Caribbean and Latin-American musicians and singers based in New York City, Dominican Republic and Bolivia. www.soundsofquiroga.com | www.giancarlatisera.com | www.arturopena.com ALBUM CREDITS: Gian-Carla: Lead Voices, Coros (1,2,4,6,7), Ch’askas (8) | Arturo Peña: Timbales, Congas, Bongo, Tambora, Chequere, Cow Bell, Guiro, Maracas, Voices (2,3,7) | Janet Guaba: Vocal Guest (4), Coros (1,4,6,7) | Ludwig Alvarez: Piano & Pads (2,5,7) | Luis Gómez: Piano (1,6) | Alec Castro: Organ & Pads (3) | Juan Gabriel Jiménez: Trumpets (1,5,7) | George Saénz: Trombones (1,6) | Gershon Suero: Alto & Tenor Saxes (2,5,7) | Carl Maraghi: Baritone Sax (6) | Robinson Hernández: Guitar & Requinto (3,8) | Pablo Moya: Tres Cubano (4) | Sinuhe Padilla Isunza: Guitar & Jarana (4) | Carlos Mena: Bass (4,6) | Jessey Kelly: Bass (3,8) | Eddy Javier: Bass (2,5) | John Benitez: Bass (1) | Pedro Valdez: Bass (7) | Sara Cortinas: Cello (8) | Christopher Sánchez (MastaKriz): Guira (2,3,5) | Larry De La Rosa: Guira (7,8) | Mario Torrico: Charango & Zampoñas (8) | Geno Peralta: Accordion (2) | Johanna Heredia: Coros (1,2) | Nicola Lozano: Voice (2) | Yancy Odanny Soto: Coros (1) | Marcelo Peláez: Voice (8) Produced by Arturo Peña & Gian-Carla Tisera | Music & Lyrics by Gian-Carla Tisera | Music & Arrangements by Arturo Peña | Instruments & Coros Recorded at Red Studio NYC | Lead Voice Recorded by Kamilo Kratc at Soundworks Recording Studio, NY | Charango & Zampoñas (8) Recorded by Marcelo Peláez Claros at Sonic Room Studio, Bolivia | Mixed by Pedro Valdez at ValdezStudio | Mastered by Luis Herrera at Masterhead Lab © & ℗ 2017 Arturo Peña & Gian-Carla Tisera Rebeliosa Music.
