Razteria - Aventurera CD
Label Cat#: AR010
IDC Cat#: IDC0662
Bay Area Based Latin-Rock-Reggae Artist Razteria to Release Two
Singles and Videos Ahead of the March 18th, 2016 Worldwide Release
of her 5th Album, “Aventurera”
Razteria (aka Renée Asteria) can be described as a fusion of early No Doubt, Steel Pulse, Los
Aterciopelados, and Marissa Monte. She is releasing her 5th full-length album, Aventurera, worldwide
through her own Asteria Records on March 18th, 2016, honoring spring. The album’s first two singles
and videos, Aventurera and Change, will be released on digital platforms January 15th and 22nd 2016,
respectively. The album calls out to the adventurer in each one of us to go beyond what we know, reach
into the unknown, and challenge ourselves to grow. This theme is woven into a concept across all 12
tracks, with each song being part of the "Aventurera's" story. "The Adventurer" is each of us, in one
form or another.
Razteria’s multicultural background (born in the USA of Bolivian-Dutch heritage and raised in France)
has had a profound influence on her musical journey. Performing in English, Spanish, French, and
Portuguese, her music has been described as ‘musically adventurous’ and ‘one of a kind, breaking
all rules,’ uniting Reggae, passionate Latin grooves, Rock, powerful messages, and some real musical
genius. She is known for her fat bass-lines, her simple yet intricate songs, and her signature ethereal
harmonies. Over the past ten years Razteria, performing under both Razteria and Renée Asteria, has
planted musical seeds throughout the Americas (Argentina, Bolivia, Canada, and USA) and Europe
(France, Switzerland).
Aventurera was recorded & produced at Razteria’s own Truffula Oak Studio. The studio’s name comes
from being nestled in an old growth of live oak trees hidden in El Sobrante Hills, CA, and symbolizes
a goal of sustainability with the imagery of the Truffula tree (the central focus in Dr. Seuss's
environmentally themed classic "The Lorax"). This album is groundbreaking in its richness, showcasing
a collaborative synergy with talented independent artists from the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.
Artists featured on Aventurera include: Sang Matiz, Rahman Jamaal, Carolyn Smith, Chatterbox,
Seneca, as well as Waddell Bell and Lou Neuburger (bass and drums, Fyah Squad Band), Raliegh Neal
