Javier Jara has been working on his latest album for a number of years, and it is now done! Our Rhythms, Our Voices is a collection of 12 songs, each the story of a real person, honoring Latin Americans for their contributions to The United States, while also exposing the scapegoating and oppression Latin Americans experience in the United States, especially in recent years from prominent politicians and media moguls.

The music is lush and beautiful. Javier is masterful on the guitar and his accompanists are likewise masters of their crafts.  This music is joyful to listen to, and the lyrics tell stories, poignant and personal, derived from interviews which were turned into poems and then into songs.

Javier performs in the Austin Texas area, sometimes to benefit Casa Marianella a non-profit agency that serves immigrants in need of housing, and other resources.
