 ANTHONY OCANA NEW ALBUM ¡¡ON SALE!!, 08/08/2006
 ANTHONY OCAÑA "Anthony Ocaña" (2006)
This composer and guitarist from the Dominican Republic, who has been living for the past four years in Madrid, is presenting us his second CD, this time as a soloist
It is an absolutely intimist work, where the interpreter of the acoustic guitar presents us 9 original tracks and a version of the song "Al Alba" by Luis Eduardo Aute.
In this second album, we are facing a more mature composer and guitarist, who presents us his peculiar style of fusion of classical and contemporary music, that comes along with his education as a musician in NYC, Jazz music and of his undeniable Caribbean roots, which can be perfectly appreciated in his most recent work titled "Anthony Ocaña".
Anthony has found a way to penetrate the most hidden emotions in order to purify our soul. Though he is a soloist musician, in this album Anthony counts with the participation, in some tracks, of recognized dominican musicians such as Guarionex Aquino (percussion), Isidro Bobadilla -El Boba- (percussion), Esar Simo (Upright), Sebastian Lerner (piano & keyboards), and Maridalia Hernandez (vocals on "Salvame") ex interpreter of Juan Luis Guerra & 440. This album is a clean cut example of the "Nouvelle Musique". Enjoy it!

**************************************
 Anthony Ocaña and his concerts,
The artist is continuously performing in different Spanish venues. His concerts are developed and presented in two formats:
- ANTHONY OCAÑA PROJECT
The first format is a duo of guitar and percussion, with Brazilian master Ronny Vasques. In this duo, Anthony works with Ronny to search for rhythms of Latin American & Caribbean origin, creating sound-like ecosystems which allow him to develop his signature musical narration. These duos are profound investigations for Anthony, his roots, travels, and restlessness. Undoubtedly, these concerts become a journey to infinite places for both the audience and musicians.
- ANTHONY OCAÑA "SOLO"
The second format are Anthony’s solo concerts. These are his most intimate performances where the audience is embraced by the sounds of his instrument, interpretation, and strength of compositions.
