"Goldswagger is a journey to the r&b/soul/funk side of internationally-known record producer/songwriter/musician Michael Goldwasser. Goldswagger brings back the vibes of the late 70's/early 80's, when music was still recorded as live as possible in the studio and musicianship ruled the day. The first self-titled album of this project features all original compositions by Michael - songs about life, love, and staying positive. Michael plays guitar, keyboards, bass, percussion, and sings, along with musical contributions from John "JR" Robinson (Chaka Khan/Rufus, Michael Jackson's Off the Wall), Manny Laine (Wyclef Jean), and Ivan Katz (Easy Star All-Stars) on drums; Bill Holloman (Nile Rodgers' Chic) on horns, Uri Kleinman (Martha Wash) on bass, Shaul Eshet (Karolina) on keys, Gordon "Nappy G" Clay (Groove Collective) and Chauncey Yearwood (Pimps of Joytime) on percussion, backing vocals from Joanne Williams and Kirsty Rock (Easy Star All-Stars) and guest lead vocals by Maya Azucena, Honey Larochelle, Lisala Beatty, Sophia Ramos, Robbie Rosen, Greg Vilfranc, and Melaku." - www.goldswaggermusic.com

BLACK BUTTERFLY, by Maya Azucena

"This is for every single black boy in America. It is for every black boy who did and continues to do great things with their legacy. You’re all beautiful. And for those who’s lives have been unjustly snatched too soon. You’ll never be forgotten.
To begin with, Maya’s remake of Black Butterfly is clearly inspired by Trayvon Martin. As such, 100% of the proceeds will go to support the Trayvon Martin Foundation and mission – in particular, “to create awareness of how violent crime impacts the families of the victims, and to provide support and advocacy for those families…(and) to increase public awareness of all forms of racial, ethnic and gender profiling” and build sustainable solutions.

Maya’s truest desire for this song is for it to reach the ends of the earth and have the greatest possible exposure to do so. She intends for this song to impact all listeners to know their value and to strive for their greatest potential. She also thinks this song,Black Butterfly, has the potential to promote healing around the loss of Trayvon, and healing for other families with lost loved ones, as well as to set focus and energy toward nurturing the positive growth of young boys like Trayvon.

At times circumstances feel very bleak, and hope is a powerful tool for impacting social change. We move when we are inspired. Songs inspire."
