Composer and lyricist, singer and guitarist, Mathew Joseph, from the coastal state of Kerala in the south west of India, brings to the stage of World Music his new 2006 CD release "Eclectia", a mosaic collection of instrumentals and songs spanning many different styles of music. Written, arranged, performed, produced, recorded and mixed by Mathew, the album is also graced by special guest performances from David Estes, Robert Smith and Joy Barnum.
Firefly - his first album released in 2004- was a reflection of his experiences with the magic and mystery of his homeland, and of his many travels in the high Himalayas.
