Hello,
My name is David Heredia. I am an animation artist in the process of working on an animated cartoon which makes reference to the Tainos of the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. I am looking for traditional sounding Taino music and am searching for sponsors for the cartoon. Not for finance, but for musical contributions that I can add as background music for the cartoon. All music used will be for the project titled "La Gira Latina' and music producer will be fully credited. If you happen to know anyone who might be interested in this project, please let me know and I can give you further details. My main website is herediadesigns.com . I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Im sorry, my email is dheredia4@gmail.com
