Yani's Return from Caracas Summer 2012

Fabulous songwriter, singer, multi-instrumentalist (and collaborator) Yani Martinelli just got back from a visit to her extended family in Caracas, Venezuela. Here are a just a few photos she lent us here at Brookmania:

The razor wire atop the wall creeps me out, but check out the cloudy mountain vista at the top of the street.

Here's Yani sitting among the roots of a gigantic Caucho tree.

You really must now download Yani's latest album, Bubble Station, at Bandcamp.  I believe it is still free. I myself perform on a few of these songs. I am excited to know that a vinyl release of Bubble Station is a possibility. I am trying to convince her to create a Kickstarter project. Yani's music is just fantastic. Mostly, it's on the folkier side of pop but with lots of sunshine pop and other influences, too.

Yani Martinelli's new "Early Bird" video

Using recently discovered footage she took as a kid when living in San Francisco for a year in the 90's, my super-talented musical partner for the past few years has debuted her latest music video. Beautiful stuff.
