Cipitio Records presents Nelson Saga performing all original compositions of Trova and World Music. Nelson will be joined on stage by various renowned Austin musicians like Roberto Paolo Riggio on violin, Michael Longoria and his Jazz Quartet, Elena Diaz with her mesmerizing voice, Englesson Silva on guitar and Joe England with his magic flute. Brazilian composer and guitarist Antonio Dionisio will open the musical experience with his diverse sounds.
Nelson will bring to life his recently recorded album Cósmico Juglar. Born in El Salvador, Saga is an interdisciplinary artist, composer, multilingual singer and music video producer. His career started in the early 90s in the city of Los Angeles, California and later moved to Austin, Texas.
Cósmico Juglar is his debut studio album, featuring local and world class collaborations such as members of the Middle Eastern band Atash, Egyptian vocalist Marina Barsoum and orchestral arrangements by Brazilian Maestro Sidão Santos and Seu Jorge’s brass ensemble.
This unique experience will immerse you in a world of social consciousness, stimulating ideas and humorous fun through the sneak peek of the cartoon animated short film being produced in collaboration with Dallas’ Jumpstart Animations crew, to accompany his new single “Cipitio”. Folkloric dancers and art performers will also contribute to visually bringing the music to life.
