ABOUT RAICES:
Her third full-length album entitled "Raices" was released on November 29, 2016 to follow her sophomore album "Risin'!", an album that was dedicated to love in all its forms whereas "Raices", meaning 'roots' in Spanish, is a new kind of musical love letter.
Bringing forward the sounds of traditional acoustic instruments from Cuba and her native Ukraine, "Raices" is fully comprised of organic instrumentation, impressively blending roots-reggae and Afro-Cuban rhythms with folk-pop lyrics and melodies paired by Auresia's sweet-as-honey voice.
Recorded between Cuba and Canada, "Raices" is a true labor of love. Trading in the simple fun of her first two records for a more refined sound, Auresia delivers a raw truthful interpretation of everyday life and the realities of being a strong woman. The one thing that hasn't changed is her deep-rooted passion for Reggae and Latin music. Although most of her lyrics are sung in English, she masterfully weaves in Spanish phrases as well as words in Lakota, the native tongue of the people of the Sioux tribes.
Auresia is not the kind of artist you encounter every day. It's this very element of surprise that makes this singer-songwriter one of the most exciting young Canadian talents emerging in the industry today.
