Salaam Axé now available on CD Baby

August 21, 2016 · Derek

Greetings friends, family and fans,

Salaam Axé is now available on CD Baby!

Everyone around the world can now download a copy for $10 (they force me to price it $9.99 -- I don't want to insult anyone's intelligence about that). You can download individual tracks for $1. There are 30 second samples of all the tracks, and the opening track, Rise With the Ranks is available to hear in full. A mail-order physical disc is $15 plus shipping. I'm working on an alternative where folks can get a physical copy directly from DerekWrightMusic.com for cheaper, but for now, CD Baby is the only option.

However, anyone in the Bay Area that wants to get a copy can see me in person to get one. I'm off for 2 weeks at California Brazil Camp up in Cazadero, CA. After that, I'll be in the Bay Area for a couple of weeks so you can PayPal me directly and I'll deliver it in person.

I would be extremely grateful if anyone who's heard the music would be willing to log in to CD Baby and write a review.

Folks in Fresno, CA can get their copy from my friends at the Fulton Yoga Collective.

Thanks for all the support and encouragement. Hope you love the music!

-Derek
