Raya Records is proud to present Even The Sun!

Fosforo LP – dropping March 2006
Fosforo’s debut full-length features Rafi Benjamin’s powerful songwriting, backed by the deep reggaetronic and punkadelic rhythms of drummer Cesar Ventura and bassist Edwin Moses. Sung in English, Spanish, and Hebrew, “Even The Sun” bursts with an evocative stream of words and images that conjures up Beenie Man channeling the poetic spirits of Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan. From the North African ragga-rock of “Amapola,” with its harrowing portrayal of an obsessed love, to the post-biblical dub meltdown of “Lot’s Wife,” Fosforo's debut effort proves to have been well worth the wait..
