"What can easily be forgotten, because it is so rare and virtually impossible to come across, is that this percussion album is dominated by women, particularly women of color." I CARE IF YOU LISTEN reviews Recap's album Count to Five! Out next week! buff.ly/3zldY42

The members of Recap, four young women of color from New Jersey, have built a mission of gender equity into their striking debut album. n.pr/3mWAz2H

Mantra’s Marketing Director, Taylor Furman, has been involved in the performing arts for over 20 years. She began her journey with Mantra working with Recap on their music video for Angelica Negron's 'Count to Five' in 2019. And fun fact: she has a labradoodle named Lamp!
