\"Carlos<\/a>Carlos Ni\u00f1o<\/a> is getting ready to drop Flutes, Echoes, It’s All Happening!<\/em>, the fourth collaborative album off his Carlos Ni\u00f1o & Friends<\/em> series. To bring the record to life, the Los Angeles based producer, composer, ensemble orchestrator, percussionist, DJ and mentor assembled a stellar cast of guest\u00a0contributors, including Madlib, Kamasi Washington, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, Iasos, Luis P\u00e9rez Ixoneztli, Dexter Story, amongst others.<\/p>\n

Flutes, Echoes, It’s All Happening<\/em> navigates through varied influences, from jazz and New Age to psychedelic and ambient music, and spans a few\u00a0years. “I rarely throw anything away”, said Ni\u00f1o, “and in this case, a few pieces I’d started and archived were brought back to the forefront as they vibrationally matched with the project. There is overlap in space, time and sound with these records.”<\/p>\n

Ahead of its release on April 22nd via Leaving Records<\/a>, we can already hear the first taste from it, ‘It’s All Happening!’ featuring Madlib, Jamire Williams, Dexter Story, and strings by Miguel Atwood-Ferguson. Take a listen now.<\/p>\n
