P.S. Of course, we also have a new album for sale at www.cdbaby.com/aguatrip3.

The event was also the unveiling of the first Agua Trip book project, Genetics: A Visual Songbook, designed by our good friend Esther L. Kim. There was also an exhibition of all the original pieces of art included in the book, which were graciously donated to the Fundraiser by 20 international artists. There was also a Silent Auction, giving all the attendees the opportunity to own a piece of this beautiful and historic collaboration.

CONNECT was there in full force, organizing a raffle with astounding prizes, decorating the stage with beautiful saris, supplying really tasty food, and talking about their work, which you can read about at connectnyc.org

We want to thank all of CONNECT’s staff and friends for coming out to the event and supporting our music. We want to thank all of Agua Trip’s friends, old and new, who brought us their smiles. We always appreciate the friendship and support. We want to thank Devon at Sage Theater. We want to thank Tom for taking on the monumental task of running our sound on such short notice. We want to thank all the artists in Genetics: A Visual Songbook and Esther L. Kim for designing and producing the book for us. We also want to thank the musicians. We are honored to have performed our music with some very talented friends: Morgan Henderson (congas), James Guastaferro (guitar, bass, keys & vocals), Russel De Mousse (drumkit), Chris Johnson (guitar, mandolin & bass).
