Busco un Lugar (“Looking for my Home”), Alicia Borisonik’s second CD, traces Alicia’s life from her teenage years in Argentina living under a brutal dictatorship, through the journey to her current life in Canada. On this new CD, she brings the most traditional influences of her life experiences together with contemporary musical innovations by blending traditional Argentinian music with contemporary vocals, electronic beats and loops, and infusing it with the richness of violin and accordion.
Alicia explains, “This CD, in a way, is a gift to myself, the end of a cycle and the beginning of new ones. It’s a collage of various moments, emotions and scenes from my life... ”
Alicia’s collaborative partner, drummer and artistic producer Ross Murray, created the loops, percussion and arrangements on Busco un Lugar and the roster of musicians on the CD includes Alvaro De Minaya providing bombo leguero and Latin percussion, Stuart Watkins and Tom McMahon on bass, Sunita Gingras playing violin, Rene Gely on guitar, and Daniel Srugo on Spanish guitar. Along with composing and arranging, Alicia Borisonik plays piano, accordion, and vocals. Busco un Lugar will be distributed in Canada by Outside Music.
