Hello Guajira Fan. We are thrilled to announce our next recording session. This project is quite unusual. We will record with vintage pre-amps and sophisticated microphones and transfer it on a 7" vinyl.

Hello Guajira Fan. We are thrilled to announce our next recording session. This project is quite unusual. We will record with vintage pre-amps and sophisticated microphones and transfer it on a 7" vinyl. This will give the acoustic guitar and percussions a natural, warm and old-stylish sound with the actual technology.
Recording on vinyl is a project we cherish since the first album. Last year we didn’t have the right type of songs to do it, but now we have two compositions that will fit perfectly.
With you on the team we have the opportunity to make it happen.
What does the $550 pay for?
This is going to pay for the recording session and the mastering of two instrumental pieces.
All the other expenses, about $1600, are for the vinyl pressing and creation of download cards. Those fees are absorbed by the band.
And If We Exceed the $550 funds, What Happens Next?
1. We will jump around like crazy monkeys.
2. Up to $2100, it will pay for the project.
What If We Do Better Than $2100!
1. We will make a press release on Internet to create larger media awareness (media packages begin at $240).
2. We will create a promotional video.

Thanks for your support!
