Leonardo Prakash introduces us to his subtle, powerful voice in his debut single “Keep the Faith”
Leonardo Prakash is a citizen of the world. He is also a modern day troubadour, a French-Mexican musician classically trained in India, Mexico and lands across the globe. He has been internationally recognized for his skills as a multi-instrumentalist, and now introduces us to the subtle beauty of his poetry and the gentle richness of his voice on his first release as a singer-songwriter, “Keep the Faith.” On this song, Prakash sings over guitar, baglama, bass and drums with gentle harmonies dancing over his smooth, silky voice.
“My experience of the world we live in is that one is always getting “taken out” of our natural state by many different dependencies and distractions” says Prakash. “This song talks about the things in my life that trigger that memory in me such as seeing the stars or the sky. They remind me of the majesty of the universe and that all of that beauty is also inside me.”
