DESCRIPTION:
new album
SANCTUARY
now available at: www.richiebarshay.com, iTunes, Bandcamp

Eclectic percussionist Richie Barshay's second leader release is a collection of drum-centric originals, accompanied by special guest Chick Corea. The music highlights the role of drumming as a personal and shared sanctuary, "harboring the diversity of our world and its countless rhythms." Drawing influences from Brasil, Mali, India, and personal explorations with found-recycled percussion, the songs were recorded inside a historic synagogue in Brooklyn.
