Dan Neville

Dan Neville is proud to be the arranger / producer on the recently released Xiomara Torres: La Voz Del Mar (Patois Records) an album shining light on and spanning the bridge between Colombia's Pacific Coast and the US.

Cali, Colombia's DJ El Chino describes the album as “Sabroso, Cadencioso y Perfecto” (Tasty, Cadential and Perfect). Tor Hammerø from Norway describes La Voz Del Mar as “an introduction to this musical landscape (Pacific Coast Colombian music), with the brilliant vocalist Xiomara Torres at the center, who makes life smile as often as music from these valleys leads to.”
