Smoothjazz.com Review
This is an incredibly beautiful and powerful collection of music. It transcends genres and imparts a positive, profound, and extremely important message to all who listen. Its themes are at once timely and timeless, expressed succinctly by flutist Nestor Torres himself when he says, "We are living through a very challenging and difficult period in human history. Therefore, at this time, I have chosen to transcend my identity as an entertainer and take on the role of artist as an agent for change." Deeply affected by the tragedy of 9/11, Mr. Torres traveled to New York to meditate and play his flute at various houses of worship throughout the city. Most of the songs on this album evolved from those improvisations. The other primary influence for this project is a composition inspired by a lecture given in Florida by the Dalai Lama. Its title: "Lotus Sutra of the Wonderful Law." The positive energy from Nestor Torres' performances on DANCES, PRAYERS & MEDITATIONS FOR PEACE is palpable, with moods ranging from reflective ("A Widow's Meditation" and "St. Peter's Prayer") to joyous and festive ("Dance Because You Can" and "House Call"), and the music incorporates elements of hip-hop, Latin, and reggaeton in rich orchestral, world, and classical settings. I've been a big fan of Nestor Torres for many years now, and this latest work has eclipsed anything that has gone before it. Simply put, DANCES, PRAYERS & MEDITATIONS FOR PEACE comes with my highest recommendation! ~SCOTT O'BRIEN
Thank-you NESTOR!!!!!
I recently attended a wonderful convention for peace,culture & education celebration in Denver over the 6-30-06 weekend.
Nestor performed, he expressed life in the most magnificent form on stage! It was truly breath taking!!!
His expression and intent for sharing the joys of life emerged
and moved everyone to tears!!! I have been humming the beautiful sounds and feeling the passion for life! (Plus, I just bought your recent CD!) I look forward in sharing this with my family & friends!
Thank-you so much,
Joyce Murdock
Thank you, Nestor!
Although I have recited Lotus Sutra for almost four long decades, honestly I always felt some kind of hesitation to do so. Now, I found the new interpretation is possible in this way wonderfully by the artist like you, I feel so much joy. It turned out that doing gongyo is much fun. We love you. Thank you so much, Nester.
