Will Alleyne and Kevin Kearney - Karma Bonita

Most of the music on this website was originally compiled during our travels in India, Asia, Europe and Latin America. There have been countless people involved in the making, either as musicians, friends, partners or stragglers etc. The worldwide influences are throughout the recordings. Percussion samples were all recorded live in India or Sri Lanka, drums in Italy, Mexico and the UK. All Violins were arranged and played by Will Alleyne, Kevin Kearney played guitars, bass and drum programming. The mixing/arranging was done in Agra, Italy, high up on the Swiss border in an old Castle and also Veldhoven, Holland, in an old farmhouse where we built makeshift studios using laptops, Trace Elliot amps , sm57 mic’s....and a ton of stuff you wouldn't even consider taking with you to a local pub for a saturday night gig.....never mind dragging it halfway accross the world.
