Las 7 Salves de La Magdalena:
Songs of Praise & Liberation

Strange, but true. I'll be the facilitator at Riverside Church's Bible Study this Sunday August 31st, as part of their Summer Mary Magdalene study series.
9:30 - 10:30 a.m.
Room 10T
490 Riverside Drive, Manhattan

The Magdalene walks mysterious paths. So this Evangelical Christian turned Atheist turned Spiritist turned Everything & Nothing will be there to share the twists and turns of my artistic/spiritual path. No. You do not have to be a Christian to attend. Magdalene knows I'm not.

On Sunday, I will present some of my work-in-progress.

Las 7 Salves de La Magdalena is a musical offering to the mythical/historical figure that, for the last 10 years, has lit up my spiritual and artistic path. She has guided me closer to myself and to artistic collaborators who share my passion for her. Drawing from roots musical traditions like Puerto Rican aguinaldos and Dominican salves, putting together these 7 songs for Mary Magdalene has been a process of collective catharsis… and bliss.
