Jorge Glem and Sam Reider release music video for "Homer the Roamer/Sabana Blanca"

Jorge Glem and Sam Reider unveiled the music video for their new single "Homer the Roamer/Sabana Blanca" today.

The visual, which can be seen below, was shot in Mexico City earlier this year by director Hernán Jabes.

Reider said this about the collaboration album:

"Rhythm is the common ground that connects us. We've learned how to communicate across linguistic barriers ever since we met in 2016 at a party on the Upper West Side while bottles of rum and maracas were passed around. From the day Jorge moved to New York City and he brought his cuatro to that dinner party, we've shared this music together in our homes and we're very excited for the world to finally hear our compositions."

Glem also said:

"Similar to how it was essential for me to showcase and make music from the eastern part of Venezuela, Sam has been doing the same with his band Human Hands for American roots music, and his jazz projects. Sam appreciates how music has no perimeters. We are all from this Earth and there should be no boundaries between countries, just the earth that connects us."

"Homer the Roamer/Sabana Blanca" stems from the duo’s forthcoming collaboration album Brooklyn-Cumaná, which will be released on November 4 via Guataca Foundation. The album features special guests saxophone/clarinet legend Paquito D'Rivera, Grammy-nominated Latinx vocalist Gaby Moreno, and members of the lauded Americana band Human Hands, including saxophonist Eddie Barbash (Jon Batiste, Cory Wong), violinist Alex Hargreaves (Billy Strings, Live From Here), and mandolinist Dominick Leslie (Molly Tuttle).

On November 9, both artists will hold a free record release show inside David Rubenstein Atrium at Lincoln Center in NYC. More information can be found here.
