This Brooklyn singer\/songwriter, activist and all around amazing woman Maya Azucena used to chant in her shows Maya Who? Mainly for audiences not sure how to pronounce her last name- also promoting her first release \u2018Maya Who?!\u2019 which came out in 2003. Since then she\u2019s put out a hot mix CD called \u2018Taste This\u2019, her critically acclaimed \u2018Junkyard Jewel\u2018, a hot maxi single release called \u201cMake it Happen\u201d, a bootleg of a culmination of songs called \u2018What you don\u2019t already have\u2019 and fast forward to the present where Maya is busy putting the finishing touches on the much anticipated new effort \u2018Cry Love\u2019.<\/p>\n

Maya\u2019s journey has been a remarkable one and I\u2019m thankful to have known her through most of it. We were first introduced at Joe\u2019s Pub in 2004. I used to book the late night series and if Maya wasn\u2019t on stage she was part of the enthusiastic audience at many of the shows and parties I promoted\/booked.<\/p>\n

Maya\u2019s music is adored and appreciated around the world. She\u2019s made many trips to Croatia. At least 22 by now and about to go again. She\u2019s recorded with one of the biggest MC\u2019s from there- Gibonni -and when he performs he usually flies her out incorporating her into the show. Definitely some royalty status in Croatia. She also just came back from Dublin recording with a well known singer\/songwriter and she\u2019ll be hitting Australia for a tour in October.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
