QA - From Real Word Records (incorrect Release country) -- Beat the Border is the result of some significant collaborations. The first is with Jean-Pierre Alarcen, a brilliant guitarist and composer/arranger who is featured throughout the album. Jean-Pierre brings the electric soul to this cultural collaboration of western pop/rock and African traditional melodies. The second was with producer Bob Ezrin who has worked with, among others, Peter Gabriel, Pink Floyd, and Paul Simon. 26 SEPTEMBER 1993
