On the heels of the success of their breakout single “Melancolia,” Grammy-Award-Winning Bassist, Composer, Vocalist, and Multi-Instrumentalist Richard Bona and Haitian Grammy-Nominated Jazz Pianistand Composer Reginald Policard have unveiled details for their much-anticipated sophomore single. “Encuentro Theme,” which will be released through the Encuentro label, will be available on all DSPs and orcd.co/encuentrotheme starting Friday, June 2.

According to Bona and Policard, the song was inspired by the fundamental philosophy behind the Encuentro record label. Encuentro is a musical meeting between artists from different countries who all love and are inspired by the music of Latin America, the Caribs and even Miami – where most of Encuentro’s artists are based.

The duo says that with Encuentro’s diverse musical encounters, “Encuentro Theme” embodies a statement of what fans can expect from their project in the future. It is “a message of bringing people together through music and encouraging them to dance and live in peace together.”

In addition to Policard and Bona, “Encuentro Theme” includes appearances by Jean Caze on trumpet (who currently tours with Michael Buble), Ludwig Afonso on drums, Teddy Mulet on trumpet and trombone, David Fernandez on saxophone, Hector Quintana on guitar, legendary Sammy Figueroa on percussion, and Edwin Bonilla on congas and timbales. “Encuentro Theme” was produced by Richard Bona and written by Reginald Policard.
