"Sometimes I go for an online walk and try to hear as much new music as I can. One evening I stumbled across Maya Azucena among a huge pool of other talented artists. I knew straight away that she was a standout talent: a good strong voice with plenty of soul & moxie, terrific old school sound, and just a lot of bumpin' grooves. What more could you want? So I ordered her one and only CD (apparently from 2003) and when it came I listened to little else for the next week. Naturally I was hungry for more music from this fine artist. But I can't really find any more about her online. I'm hopeful that she's been courted by a label that is growing her talent even greater. I know it's heresy to hope that an indie artist gets picked up by a major label...but the only thing missing from this CD is that little bit of magic that happens when a great talent meets a great producer. But don't get me wrong -- this is a terrific album. I highly recommend it!"
