We finally got our Chapa CD !!!!
author: Steve & Anjuli ( Gaslighters )
We have been fans of Chapa since hearing him quite a few months back into last year. We absolutely love this artist ! Hysterical ? Yes ! We are... So excited to finally be able to afford our Chapa CD ( hee hee ). This album is going to be played until it can't be played no more...which will be sometime into the next millennium. Chapa's music resonates deeply and brilliantly with us, and it's sound-scape of layers reveals new horizons with every new listen. This is no hype, and we are not personal friends...we are fellow artists, however, that admire the works of Sir Chapa... and respect the work...and feel it. Chapa covers all the ground with intelligence, bravery, daring imagination, immense creativity, and abstract thought anchored in a catch able melody...with sublime rhythm...and we must mention Deacon ( Chapa's drummer ) who is one of the finest drummers we ever did hear. Man, this guys got that primal quality that one either has or does not... and vision to spare. Yes..yes... we are probably embarrassing ourselves just about now, but we had to go on a bit- We are so excited to get our Chapa CD, and that is a great feeling. It is rare to buy a CD these days and feel that way, it is all too far and few between, but we feel that way now...and we are grateful. Thank you for doing what you do Chapa !

Innovative & theraputic

I bought into "the ride" from the moment it played. The creative use of tranquil sounds and intense lyrics makes this music truly identifiable.

Poignant and wistful.
author: Luke
A Buyer's Ride is very entertaining musically what with so many instruments thrown into the mix and the assorted samples of things like a typewriter that were used. It's kind of cliched to say but you really do pick so much more out of the album after repeated listens. Lyrically i found
everything honest and engaging. There's an immediacy to Chapa's vocals that makes all the songs seem so genuine. Overall I found the album to be poignant and wistful and well worth my money. Personal highlights are Masquerader's Downfall, Honestly, From Your Cloud, and All Three faces. Highly recommended.
