André Donawa lives on a beautiful island in the Southern Caribbean where he plays bass, guitar, and percussion, as vehicles to produce and explore new avenues and blends of music from his beach side studio.

André's third CD is a poignant creation titled "Aqua Blue" and is about his love for open spaces and the beauty of  nature's endless vistas drifting softly away into the distance. It's a sound byte of that profound feeling one gets as our eyes wander across a majestic horizon.

"This is quite a different album for me as it is not so much about me telling the story but the stories telling themselves; I'm just along for the ride in the sense of cocreating with something vast and soulful. It is definitely a synthesis of all the music that has influenced me. I listen back to it and hear the influences of Trevor Horn from The Art of Noise, right up there with, say, Aston "Familyman" Barrett and Pat Metheny, all in one song. To me it doesn't sound forced. It sounds just as if it was always meant to be."

Enjoy André's composition Big Calm; a wonderful introduction to this very sensitive and gifted Barbadian musician.
