LC Author & Recording Musician Releases 16th Album
Las Cruces recording artist C.S. Fuqua has released his sixteenth album, Walls, his first of lyrical songs, featuring the single “Stand Up, Say Their Names” to honor those who’ve died by ICE actions.
Walls explores things that separate us and follows the release of eight solo Native American flute albums and seven multi-instrument world jazz albums. Fuqua’s compositions are influenced by a number of musical styles and genres, from bluegrass and rock to jazz and indigenous flute music. Walls, unlike his previous instrumental albums, is based more in popular rock and singer-songwriter genres while some of the songs incorporate the Native American flute. Musicians and composers worldwide are increasingly exploring the native flute as far more than an instrument of traditional music.
Walls is available on most streaming and sales platforms, including Pandora, Deezer, Spotify, Amazon.com, Apple Music, and more, The album can be previewed in its entirety and purchased at http://csfuqua.bandcamp.com.
