RAYA NOVA
Raya Nova is rock band based out of Berkeley that formed in 2001 in a different configuration. Venezuelan native, lead guitarist and vocalist Eduardo Gamboa, teamed up with rhythm guitarist and vocalist Grae Ryder (who left the band in late 2008), in both individual and collaborative song writing accompanied by, former percussionist, Chile native Leonardo Cartes. Their sound runs the gamut from early Pink Floyd (Meddle, Dark Side era) to the Buena Vista Social Club, Santana to U2 and much more. The lyrics have a depth and consciousness that has become a rarity in a darkening world. Sometimes they're ambient psychedelic and at other times folk influenced or the danceable rhythms of Latin music. The music is at times dark and brooding and at others melancholic and sweet. Sometimes they're just good ole ass kicking' rock n roll. Yet throughout this wide range of influences they maintain a consistent identity and original sound.
In 2007 they completed their first full length CD, "and Darkness held sway", an album in the tradition of the '70's concept records with the songs loosely tied together conceptually and physically through track cross fading so that the whole stands alone as a piece but the songs can be enjoyed individually too. In the same year the band was joined by bassist Manuel Rodriguez, and in 2009 multi-instrumentalist Roger Reese joined on drums.
