That’s sprinkled with rockstars from all over the place, from different genres. We’ve been doing this for a long time, so all the people that you meet along the way, on tour or at a festival. All those people that turn into your idols are now your peers and your friends, so we had a lot of our friends be a part of this album.
Musica Roots: How is it performing for the LA audience?
Itagui: LA is great, man. It’s a great energy, every time we are in LA; we have family in LA.
