JANUARY 2007

      


AMEREIDA is kicking off  2007 with their latest offering: "STREETS", with original compositions from Jorge & Stephanie, and a rendition of the 1950's icon "Fever".
Stephanie's lyrics reveal her mystical approach to life that interacting organically with the modern urban electronic palette that is the signature of Jorge's musical compositions, portraits a parallel world where the infinite past is embodied into the present . This album is rich and exhilarating, both in its essence and in its form. It's World Music, it's Jazz, it's Latin, it's Avant-roots, the label is not  important, it's joyful music for listening, for dancing, for dancing, for listening....

FEBRUARY/MARCH/APRIL 2006

Bill Danzig debut album "Love Never Dies" is a collection of inspired and soulful melodies that, together with the lyrics of his wife Sheila Danzig, portraits a lifetime story of two people deeply in love. We produced two albums, one instrumental and one vocal. We love them both. The vocal album features singers: Stephanie Mair and Omar Ortiz.
"The richness in the orchestration and what Jorge Guzman was able to do with my melodies is just unbelievable"...Bill Danzig

FEBRUARY/MARCH/APRIL 2006

We are so happy to be involved in the recording and production of  the first CD of Mary Rae. She is an amazing composer and artist. Her compositions range from neo-classical to contemporary and are infused with melodies that can be bright and playful, or dark and inward-turning. Her songs and music will lead you to and imaginary inward world of beautiful sights that exist, have existed and will always exist.

The CD of great percussionist "RICO" was finished in March 2005. It was so pleasant to work with him in the studio! This CD has been recorded  with the intention of helping humanity through its sale. All the money collected will be donated to the "Urchins of Brazil" . There is a special song composed by RICO  for this cause that tells the story of these lonely children left on the streets in Brazil. We, here at World Beat Group Studios, feel fortunate to have the opportunity to share with a person who is so deeply concerned for the well being of  humanity .
On July The Great R&B Singer "TATA VEGA" came from Los Angeles, California specially to record a new version of  the song "Urchins of Brazil". What an amazing voice and soul this woman has! The Best of our wishes for her success in the music world. She deserves it!
We would also like to mention that RICO is one of the few ZEN DRUM players in the USA. We invite you to check out his website

AUGUST 2004

Peter Betan's
"PASSION FIX" CD
an album U don't want to miss

The CD is a introspective and seductive musical journey. Textural imagery surrounded by a myriad of magic passages. A truly artistic album.
Peter's songwriting is strong both in his lyrics and his melodies. Jorge's production and arrangements of Peter's music can be compared to what a creative and sensitive film maker would do with a great book. 
Passion Fix, an album arranged and produced by Jorge Guzman, co produced by Peter Betan and Stephanie Mair, was mastered by Michael Fuller at FullerSound on 12/08/04

The beauty of Indian music deeply touches me.
Artist Shakuntala, with her dear musician friends, came directly to South Florida from Trinidad to record her first album here, at World Beat Group Studios.  We had the opportunity of sharing, during the month of July, a wonderful time with this very unique group of musicians, friends and family. What a blast! and to complete this venture beside producing her  CD, we also produced a musical video directed by our friend Rui Dias-Aidos. It was a great working and learning experience (a lot of work, but a lot of fun, too). Most definitely, I now know more in depth about the classical Indian Music, one of the most ancient forms of music. We are still in the process of mastering both the CD and the video and as soon as it's done, some clips will be featured here on our website.

Yes! WBG Recording Studio got the checkered flag.

At World Beat Group recording Studio we just finished the recording, production, mixing and mastering of  Jamaican songwriter Cecelia Levy. The sessions were a blast, she is such a character, very passionate and extremely musical. This girl has a gift. The complete production of her first album, which contains songs with powerful and positive messages, came out great. Back in her beautiful island she e-mailed us her feelings of the final product ..."I have put it in the car and listen to it whenever I'm driving and it really flows great".

MARCH 2002

In between all our shows we have been working nonstop to get the CD's that you guys have been waiting for. Yes, it has been crazy, working day and night, ups and downs, driving through so many states of being. I must say that to be independent and challenge ourselves to make two CD's at a time sounds crazy, but sometimes we need high mountains to clime and if we get half way, it's a success. Besides doing all these recordings, we have been designing the CD covers. On both we have used pictures from photo shootings that, our friend and also phenomenal  photographer, Leo Reinfield (with cre8me.com) took at a private  session as well as  at "The Choreographer's Ball."

We will give you the best of ourselves, and wouldlike to express to all of you how much we appreciate your support!!

Well, on the other hand we are very happy to announce the work we are doing at WordBeatGroup studio with the very talented musician Peter Betan. We are producing his latest album and also co writing with him. This has been another exciting venture besides AMEREDA. Some songs from this joint venture will be featured on up comings AMEREIDA's CD's.

JULY 2001

Amereida has spent most of these long dog days of summer in the studio. Although they have had other artists come in and record their own work, they have miraculously have found time in these short 24-houred days to record. They have been working on the finalization of their up-coming 4th album ( so fans out there, don't change the station). In this album, there is the presence of  invited artists, Pablo Malco, Edwin Bonilla, and Daniel Guzman.
Pablo Malco choreographer and rapper of PFuzion, who has recorded in two of the tracks of the album,  adds a delicious Caribbean scent. Edwin Bonilla, world-renown percussionist, who recorded in Umbaye" as the head percussionist of the album contributes with a blood-boiling essence to the recordings with his ever magic touch. Guitar player Daniel Guzman, member and founder of "Lunabelle", puts in a  magical sound that embraces the music of the album with a very palatable piquancy. All these condiments plus many other components make this album a flight through a world of many savors.
Amereida  described their upcoming album as a magical trip to the essence of many airs of life such as love, passion, relationships, despair,  mysticism, and a pure urge to dance.
