Album Notes

We are pleased to present you with Domanda Media’s first release Soul Phuziomati: Serpents in Graffiti, a spoken-word/Jazz album.

The creative blaze of two young and promising writers/musicians C.J. Pizarro and Aaron Philip Clark. This collaboration brought forth a cornucopia of talents including Los Angeles poet and pioneer Paul Vangelisti and the underground Hip Hop artist Ragtop of the Philistines. Each track is a sojourn into the dark corners and obsidian shadows of man’s existence in the twilight of Los Angeles.

As you listen to each track, you are hearing the cry from the concrete wilderness that demands to be heard. Know that this album has been forged in the fire. And the creators have come out unscathed.

Thank you,

REVIEWS:

"A kind of contemporary interpretation of what the beat poets in the 60s were. Think of raps set to a background of jazz and Electronica and experimental beats. But rap without the overdose of testosterone. It gives us some moments to think what the 'Buckshot Lefonque project’ of Brandford Marsalis' was in it’s time, something really interesting." --Duke J of Rootstime.be

"It's smart and soulful and covers the bases: elegant music, articulate language, funky and funny and rooted in the roots. It gets up and it gets down. Well done and rare."
--Lewis MacAdams, NPR and "Birth of the Cool: Beat, Bebop and the American Avant-Garde".
