Incomparable countertenor Reginald L. Mobley joins Agave to celebrate Black and Latino composers from ​North and South America, centering on the United States, and with stops in Mexico, Cuba, Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil.

The third recording project in their ongoing collaboration to present music by brilliant, yet underrepresented composers explores how the blending of European, African, and indigenous styles created uniquely American sounds through the ages. Among the many treasures of the repertoire are an unexpected and sentimental side of Scott Joplin, a song by Black American guitar virtuoso Justin Holland, two works by the earliest known Cuban classical composer, and a set of songs by the extraordinary Florence B. Price, who seamlessly blended Romantic art song and Spirituals into a sound all her own.
