Seems like this precious collaboration with our dear friend Regina was in the making all along, for decade of seeing each other shows and cross-pathing over home coming east European meals in NY… But it actually materialized rapidly once Regina told me that her ancestry also runs back to Ukraine… propelled by that duet came quickly togeather… It was easy to write with Regina’s voice in mind, it quickly grew wings, and what was “not all cholos wanna be gangsters … not all gypsies hard core pranksters” grew entirely diffrently wings, yielding to something more monumental. We untended to put in some healing energy into it indeed for our troubled homelands.
