2022 release. GRAMMY® Award-winning pianist, composer and educator Danilo Pérez hopes to usher in a new era of enlightenment that will unite all of humanity with his epic new album, Crisálida, which in English translates to "chrysalis." Incorporating multiple artistic disciplines that include works from Panamanian painter Olga Sinclair, Panamanian photographer Tito Herrera, and spoken word from his Chilean wife and saxophonist Patricia Zárate, Crisálida is a holistic inter-disciplinary package that invites listeners to reimagine a world in which we all create our own crisálida so that our individual light and humanity radiates regardless of gender, race, ethnicity or sexual orientation. And, in turn, we nurture that prismatic iridescence to better care for the environment and human race. "I envision Crisálida as a protected space where we all come together, whether we're addressing immigration issues, climate change, environmental justice, science, interconnecting different art forms," Pérez explains. "We need to work together to build our new crisálida, which, to me, is the emotional, mental and physical state of protection in our early development."
