Version I is featured on my album From The Heart. I produced this recording inviting guests including legendary US jazz guitarist Mike Stern, pianist Colin Hopkins, vocalists Kavisha Mazzella and Leonardo Salvo, harpist Mary Doumany, bassist Jeremy Also and drummer Darryn Farrugia. I perform on an array of instruments including cajon, bombo, toms, roto toms, shakers and synthesizers. The slow 6/8 style the piece is based upon, is a folkloric South American genre from Argentina known as zamba.

Version II is featured on my album Otra Vez. This is a trio version with guests Joe Chindamo on piano and Nilusha Dassenaike performing a wordless vocal treatment of this lyrical melody. I perform on the Afro-Peruvian cajon.
