We are proud to announce the first full length official release by Abraham Rodriguez Jr, Produced by Dehran Duckworth and Relief Records NYC! You will find a link to purchase the album at CdBaby.com on the album page of this site. Soon to be released will be a full length album by the guys from Cajadura, followed by the first big coming out of Miss Knockout herself, so stay tuned.
Take a listen to a few samples of the musical diversity over here at Relief Records NYC in the current projects section and the loops section etc.

We have begun a Rhumba/ Guiro series where we will be recording various groups of top NYC artists from various parts of the carribbean doing their thing and then releasing multi-volume collections of these NYC gems. Again this is music that happens all the time in New York and represents a solid resting place for the diaspora that brought us Puntilla, The Afro-Cuban All Stars, Francisco Aguabella, Milton Cardona, Conjunto Cespedes, Celia Cruz, and Lázaro Ros.

We continue to work on completing a project with the well known and respected musician and priest of Ocha, Felix Sanabria and family which brings to life the best of New York Afro-Cuban non-secular music, pure Orisha music. This is a beautiful project much anticipated in the drum and dance community of New York as it showcases this little exposed world of Afro-Cuban music and prayer that has been thriving for decades in New York, but hardly recorded and released. You can find samples samples of these recordings in our "current projects" section.
