One of the brightest new talents in the Austin scene, Omar Lopez's violin chops take him thru traditional flamenco and salsa territory to R&B and contemporary pop stylings.

Inspired by Middle-Eastern and Spanish and flamenco music, this piece was recorded in fall of 2004. The title comes from what Omar calls "a spiritual and psychological journey that I'd under- taken ... [one] that we're all on as humans..."
