One of our favorite artists, Renee Asteria, has a new release called,”Razteria”, which is really some fun and exciting music :

“RAZTERIA – Renee Asteria’s 3rd release: “Latin roots, reggae riddims, activist intent and strong female vocals coalesce on Renee Asteria’s rockin’ new release RazteRia (Asteria Records). ” The result is soulful, rock-solid and recommended.” (Chuck Foster, Reggae Central, KPFK FM, Los Angeles). Renee Asteria’s act consists of a 6-piece band, fronted by strong female vocals (Renee Asteria and Mbutshu Yindja), in English and Spanish. Her Latin-Reggae style’s upbeat, positive energy get people feeling good, dancing – and her tunes raise awareness about different societal issues.”
