The album, which was produced by famed Latin record producer Rachel Faro, will be out on September 9th on Savant Records (High Note). Publicity will be supported by RockPaperScissors, and Michael Hurzon will be promoting it to Jazz Radio.
Glaucia’s past concerts promoted by Miami’s WDNA 88.9FM radio station, enchanted Sammy, who decided to start a unique and unprecedented partnership with the singer, which has resulted in this exciting album. This work also carries an important symbolism since it has received the backing of the legendary producer and engineer Roy Cicala, shortly before he passed away. Roy, a master of sound with ten platinum albums to , and who has worked with John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Aretha Franklin, Frank Sinatra and Bruce Springsteen, became interested in the project. He offered his studio and his cooperation for the recording.
