Latin, Reggae, and Middle Eastern
Influenced Instrumentals with
a Dreamy Dub Feel
In May 10, 2005 (Los Angeles, CA) -- Rafi Levy, an Israeli born
guitar player from Los Angeles, California, released his debut solo album,
"Desert Cruising in a Dub State of Mind." The album contains 11 beautiful
tracks that take you on a journey visiting Spain, The Middle East,
South America, the Caribbean and more. "I've been looking all over
for an album of this caliber! This album has the perfect mix of Reggae,
Latin, Surf, Middle Eastern and downright Groove!" independent reviewer
Ron Moore writes.
Rafi Levy has seamlessly bridged the gap between Latin,
Reggae and Middle Eastern melodies and created an original and overall
infectious Dub flavor. In his latest release, "Desert Cruising in a Dub State of Mind,"
Rafi wrote, arranged, produced, and hand-picked some of today's most talented
musicians to accompany his six strings.
Rafi's dedication and commitment to music know no limitations.
He has been exploring and studying different sounds and styles, both foreign
and timeless, since the age of twelve. "I want to put out my own CDs in
different styles and incorporate different influences of mine from all over the world,"
the Grant Green, Ernest Ranglin, Jimi Hendrix and Bob Marley influenced musician explains.
"But express it the way I hear and feel it. I want to create something positive for people."
Rafi listens to many different styles of music, and he says he's always open
to hearing new ideas and new music. One can hear a lot of different influences
and musical feels and elements in the music he writes. "I'm into playing anything
as long as it sounds good to me and is played with passion, feeling, soul and
I am having fun doing it," Rafi comments. "I am not into imitating other people or trying
to sound like somebody else. I like to listen to music and learn things from people,
but when I come to write music, I forget about everything and put all that stuff aside."
"Desert Cruising in a Dub State of Mind" is a mix of Latin,
Reggae and Middle-Eastern influenced instrumentals with a dreamy Dub feel.
If you like music like The Gypsy Kings, Santana and World Music that blends cultures and musical
feels from around the world, you will definitely love this music. This music will relax,
inspire and put you in a positive state of mind.
