Friends, I'm so excited to announce my new album, 'Crisálida' out March 18 on Mack Avenue Records.

The first single "Monopatia (Pathways)" is out today! Listen now: lnk.to/dp_mono

I envision 'Crisálida' as a protected space where we all come together, whether we’re addressing immigration issues, climate change, environmental justice, science, interconnecting different art forms. We need to work together to build our new crisálida, which, to me, is the emotional, mental and physical state of protection in our early development.

This album features the "Global Messengers" – a new multicultural ensemble from Berklee Global Jazz Institute, dedicated to the betterment of humanity.

Tareq Rantisi | percussion (Palestine)
Vasilis Kostas | laouto (Greece)
Layth Sidiq | violin & vocals (Iraq, Jordan)
