Even though this album is only
a few months old, Prasa is al-
ready laying down tracks for his
next album with Bruce Tunkel.
Some are brand new songs,
while others were written long
ago and recently rediscovered
on a compilation created by his
son as a birthday gift. The com-
pilation included songs record-
ed in Prasa’s home on a 16-track
Yamaha recorder years ago.
Out of the 30 odd songs, a few
will be rerecorded for his next
album.
Chances are that album will
surprise people who think of
Prasa as a solo artist. Despite
often performing by himself, his
recordings are generally fleshed
out with wonderful layers of in-
strumentation. And thanks to
years of open mics, he knows
plenty of musicians to create
those layers. He’s paid his dues
and still has the same passion
he did when he first starting
playing. For him, there is no
other way.
“I’ve always got to be in it,” said
Prasa. “It’s part of who you are
and it’s a passion that has to be
in you in order to survive wheth-
er you make it or not.”
