about

All songs - except "Total Praise" - were written during lockdown in 2020.
I started listening and learning music from Madagascar on guitar first, then tried to figure out ways to play it on bass.
I also wanted to capture that "2020 vibe", I didn't really get to hang out with people, so I decided to go to the studio with just percussionists: Luisito Quintero, Eddie Montalvo, and Adan Perez.
I stayed away from having multi bass tracks on each song, except "Total Praise", for obvious reason: Robert "Bubby" Lewis is a guest bass player on that track. The same track is also the only one with a singer: Collin Jackson.
"20/20" literally has different meaning in Madagascar, and in other countries, but it could mean "the year 2020" also ... the listeners will decide their own interpretation of the title of the album. Each song title were carefully chosen too. The Malagasy and English titles are slightly different, with maybe some hidden meaning. Again, listeners will decide their own interpretation of the titles of the songs. Sarah Stroud - who designed the artwork - did a great job capturing the whole vibe of the EP.
