Latin, Reggae, and Middle Eastern
Influenced Instrumentals with
a Dreamy Dub Feel
May 10, 2005 (Los Angeles, CA) -- Rafi Levy, an Israeli
born guitar player from Los Ange-les, California, has
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 melo-dies 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 study-ing 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 ex-plains. “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 ele-ments 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
every-thing and put all that stuff aside.”
“Desert Cruising in a Dub State of Mind”
is a mix of Latin, Reggae and Middle-Eastern in-fluenced
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.
