Iliamna is the first single from La Sape Records' new compilation Swing on Low.
Recorded in January of 2023, for her forthcoming debut album. This is the cutting room floor, extended version we're blessed to share. The meditative groove is provided by two local percussion masters; Javier Fredes and Ray Pereira on the batá drums. As well as the prolific Matthew Hayes on bass who provides the foundation for the flutes to dance upon.
From Erica: "Percussion and flute feature heavily throughout my album, but Iliamna is the only track where they are alone together. In this particular take, I overdubbed some additional flute harmonies. It's not often I get to luxuriate in low end flutes, so being able to feature the alto and bass flutes in this setting was pretty special".
