Salaam Axé - CDs printed and in hand!

August 12, 2016 · Derek

I'm extremely excited to announce that the physical CDs for Salaam Axé are back from the printers and are looking great! I've run into a few snags with CD Baby, so it's taking a little longer to get the discs available for distribution that I was hoping for. But if I'm about to see you at California Brazil Camp or will see you sometime this fall and you want to buy an album that I'll deliver in person, you can send me a payment via PayPal and I'll hand you a copy ASAP.

Physical CDs will be $15 on CD Baby, but for this special offer of hand-delivery, you can send anything over $10. Larger donations gratefully accepted. :)

More news on distribution and album release events coming soon. Meanwhile, hope to see you in Cazadero in a little over a week!
