release date: March 20, 2020 via Tapestry Records.

“The New Immigrant Experience might be recognized as a masterpiece in years to come, but today, its relevance adds to its impact…It’s about hearing what often-neglected people have been trying to get others to hear—a goal that Salles achieves brilliantly.”

– Bob Doerschuk, DownBeat

The two CD/DVD set, featuring the 18-piece Felipe Salles Interconnections Ensemble, is a powerful new multimedia work inspired by the lives of “Dreamers,” the almost seven hundred thousand individuals currently protected by DACA, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
