My guest today is Eric Carranza, a gifted musician, artist and educator based in the Lowertown district of St Paul, Minneapolis. In our conversation, he reveals how his ancestral language of Spanish poured forth somewhat spontaneously in him as he was writing a recent piece of music for his project Root River Vibes, even though he barely spoke it before. We allow the moment to take us where it will, dancing and flowing with subjects including spontaneity and improvisation in art, and how we might all do well with being in the present, and having a little more looseness in life. It's all coming up right here on The Rayna Sense.
