Alan Lewis Silva Discography
ALAN LEWIS SILVA DISCOGRAPHY
Alan is a singer-songwriter of original music. His musical style is lyrical folk, rock, blues, fado, and reggae.
Musical Shadows is a book of his songs corresponding to 20 albums of music. It collectively tells the story of a millennial generation adapting to the climate of southern California during the information age. It is indie style folk music, with elements of rock, blues, fado, and reggae. It is comparable to country music.
Many of the songs feature an 6/8 rhythm, which is uncommon by contemporary music standards. The 6/8 tempo explains whence some of the reggae influence applies.
Alan’s songs are highly lyrical and will create mental images by the listener’s own imagining and interpretation of the words in each story of every song. Some songs have a grunge or alternative rock feel. Musical Shadows also features impressions of fado culture, blues, and the singer-songwriter oeuvre as a genre.
All songs composed music and lyrics by Alan Lewis Silva, who also performs these 28 albums of 408 tracks. All songs copyright © 2004 – 2023 by Alan Lewis Silva. All rights reserved.
