A project that continues the evolution of Latin music in Los Angeles is still the one and only Cava. With Taiko’s on her right and Cajon in the middle its no surprise the battle to progress her sound is always an uphill one. Her second album due to be released late 2009, is nothing to be rushed. With a working title of “Ceviche/Gumbo” you can begin to imagine the mixture of sounds to be included.
Picture the Soul of Mexico – L.A – Africa – and Colombia, what the Japanese would call an ikebana arrangement, a disciplined art form in which nature and humanity are brought together. PERMISSION TO GOOGLE Like the flower arrangement, Cava intends to express the merging creativity behind these sister worlds and perhaps remind us of how we were ONE not too long ago.

I got to listen the last 3 days...I was so proud of you. I was pissed when they were using the single mom card and acting like it was no big thing!!!!! Those guys have no idea. Anyhow, You were amazing. I'm really glad Fredo told me about it. God Bless!
Got the message. We are ready for your triumphant return again to help celebrate our 15th annual Dia de los Muertos event. Hope to see you before then.
Seeing you at Zona Rosa for the last summer show was amazing for lack of a better word! My daughter and I had a fabulous time. You got her to dance!! Thank you!!
