Crisalida

2022 release. GRAMMY Award-winning pianist, composer and educator Danilo Prez hopes to usher in a new era of enlightenment that will unite all of humanity with his epic new album, Crislida, which in English translates to chrysalis. Incorporating multiple artistic disciplines that include works from Panamanian painter Olga Sinclair, Panamanian photographer Tito Herrera, and spoken word from his Chilean wife and saxophonist Patricia Zrate, Crislida is a holistic inter-disciplinary package that invites listeners to reimagine a world in which we all create our own crislida so that our individual light and humanity radiates regardless of gender, race, ethnicity or sexual orientation. And, in turn, we nurture that prismatic iridescence to better care for the environment and human race. I envision Crislida as a protected space where we all come together, whether were addressing immigration issues, climate change, environmental justice, science, interconnecting different art forms, Prez explains. We need to work together to build our new crislida, which, to me, is the emotional, mental and physical state of protection in our early development.
