Keith Chagall: The L.A. Based Latin American Singer/Songwriter`s Invitation to a `Jobim Meets Mccartney` Driven Experience

Los Angeles, CA (TOP40 Charts/ LUCK Media & Marketing, Inc.) -- In a high stress era where heartfelt creativity seems to be ebbing and disposable pop continues to reign, Keith Chagall extends a joyous and infectious musical Invitation reminding us that that music can still ease our minds, love can still break through our cynicism, and there are just enough reasons to remain hopeful for a brighter day.

The Colombian born, American raised singer-songwriter�s infectious and exotic blend of Latin tropical rhythms, classic pop and Spanish guitar driven vocals and instrumentals bridges cultures and strips down barriers, making him a perfect representative of what CNN has referred as the �next great social wave of Latinos in America.�

The long-awaited follow-up to Chagall�s popular and critically acclaimed 2005 Indie release Soundlight, the 10-track set breaks free from the our iTunes-inspired, singles oriented world, evolving as a fully realized �love play� inspired by a wonderful romantic renaissance in Chagall�s own life. The richly textured songs on Invitation blend a modern day Antonio Carlos Jobim sensibility with accessible �McCartneyesque� melodies and were featured in the Robb Report�s 21st Annual Best of the Best issue 2009.

Co-produced by Mikal Blue, who produced Colbie Caillat�s two hit multi-platinum albums and has helmed projects for Five For Fighting, Augustana and OneRepublic, Invitation spotlights a unique songwriting collaboration between Chagall and Oscar and Tony Award-winning composer Al Kasha and features a wide range of top session and touring musicians: bassist Abe Laboriel (Michael Jackson, George Benson, Miles Davis), drummer Abe Laboriel, Jr. (Paul McCartney), trumpeter Lee Thornburg (Tower of Power, Rob Thomas) and percussionist Rafael Padilla (Enrique Iglesias, Celine Dion).

On a more personal level, it marks the culmination of an incredible comeback for Chagall after a double spinal fusion surgery to repair neck and vertebrae damage resulting from a 2001 crash with a drunk driver. In addition to chronic pain and insomnia, the placement of a titanium plate behind his Adam�s Apple made him fearful of singing for a long time. After years of physical therapy, he�s now stronger than ever, rehearsing with a new 12-piece band, ready to hit the road and start performing again later in 2010.
