She also added her special flute touch to some songs as well as having musician friends contribute to the epilogue.
Adina has many years of formal training in classical and jazz, which blends well with her life-experience in the reggae, dub and hip-hop, house and rock realms.
Her recent stint in Macau, China gave her more chops and confidence. She calls her improv style "freestyle". Her sound is warm, deep, pure, inviting, meditative, mezmerizing, serene. Adina goes into a trance while she plays and entrances others...
Playing since the age of nine, music is truly her essence and source of joy. Adina is in New York and currently working on releasing her solo album. She performs often in the New York area.
