Every week, the State of Sound podcast welcomes an artist from our monthly concert series into the studio to go deep on one of their songs. For more info on the live show, including how to get tickets, visit the event page.
Milwaukee's Pulpa de Guayaba is a six-piece, multi-instrumentalist, bilingual reggae soul band that draws from psychedelic cumbias and jazz, bringing listeners on a journey across musical and cultural boundaries. Their name means “Guava Pulp," a nod to their diverse roots and influences that blend to create new and exciting sounds.
My guest for this episode, vocalist and band leader Dominick Dear, is not only a singer-songwriter and performer. He's also an adventurer — a man chasing a dream fueled by passion and curiosity, using this thing he loves called music to help him navigate life. We chatted about the inspiration behind the band’s song, “Talk to Me,” which is all about manifesting magic before it’s even created.
