The band’s new album “Fantasy”, leads with a vibrant Latin-Tropical-Soul cover of Earth Wind and Fire’s international mega-hit “Fantasy”, sung by Nuyorican vocalist, Chris Alfinez, who has toured with Marc Anthony, Jennifer Lopez and La India. The music video was released in 2016, a few days prior to the passing of the dynamic founder of EWF, Maurice White. 3D Rhythm of Life is the first group to present a tribute to Earth Wind and Fire.
The sorcery of “Spell on You” sung by celebrated Trinidadian musician Bonny Bonaparte (Bruce Hornsby, Spyra Gyra) elevates the groove with brilliant Reggae vibes. He also lends his Island stylings to the politically charged “Things Will Change”. The EDM Latin dance mixes, “Que Siga La Rumba” and “Oyelo” are fueled by the energy of renowned Latin GRAMMY AWARD winning singer Herman Olivera. “Quiero Saber”, the second single sung by Chris Alfinez, is heartfelt, romantic pop Salsa track.
