LOS ANGELES (Latin Recording Academy) - Latin recording artist and award winning composer Arthur Hanlon recently filmed his upcoming video "Hijo de la Luna" at the Baldwin Piano factory in Trumann, Arkansas. The video, shot entirely on location, features fourteen Baldwin pianos including a one-of-a-kind 100 year old Baldwin concert grand. In one of the most stunning moments caught on video, Hanlon appears atop a platform which also features a magnificent white Baldwin Piano. The platform which seems to be afloat amidst a natural lake captures the emotions of the video. "Hijo de la Luna" will premiere internationally in late October as part of Hanlon's newest EMI release "Mecanomania." This release marks the first time EMI Latin has had a pianist on its roster and it marks the first time ever that a music video has been filmed inside the Baldwin Piano factory. "Arthur Hanlon is a premiere pianist and also a gifted singer/songwriter," said Henry Juszkiewicz, Chairman and CEO of Gibson Guitar, parent company of Baldwin Piano. "Hanlon and Baldwin together have made an extraordinarily beautiful video which fans will enjoy for many years to come." During the filming at Baldwin Piano, Hanlon was joined by local residents eager to pitch in on the production and the Mayor of the city. Local news crews covered the event for the local and regional newscasts. Interested fans can listen to "Mecanomania" and "Hijo de la Luna" at www.arthurhanlon.com and can download the music via iTunes.
