For the first time since we began traveling together, a destination chose us. In February, Jesse’s Afro-Cuban band Malamanya was invited to play at Panama’s 2015 International Boquete Jazz and Blues Festival. No way was Jonah going to miss out on that fun! Jonah traveled to Panama a few days before the band arrived to explore Panama City and collect sounds for our ongoing project, The Touch of Sound. It was a brief trip with much focus on the festival itself, yet we found time to experience a country filled with unique sounds.
