Roatán Steve Cournane 2020 Muelles y mar Sonidos de ron y miel Con su voz Negros del sol Ritmos pa’ mi Cuevas del mar Abajo del Roatán Con su paz Oscuridad Salud pa’ mi Llantos sin fin Fundidos por ‘sclavitud Con su hoz Mano pa’ aqui, Mano pa’ alla Cuevas del mar Abajo del Roatán Con su paz Profundidad Quietud pa’ mi

Andrina Steve Cournane 1987 (revised) Em.../C…./D…../……./ A figure stands in Chambers St Crosses over to Kapukataumahaka Into the light he’s walking Into the light he’s climbing Andrina what happened to you and me Andrina you still don’t want to see A boy with a screw-mount lens Kneels at the river mouth in Wanganui Against the light he’s viewing Against the light he’s shooting Andrina what happened to you and me Andrina you still don’t want to see

about

This album is different to anything I have done previously. Almost all the compositions began with percussion. Although I am a drummer, I have never written music like this before.
