The David Ray Band plays an interesting and beautiful mix of Brazilian, Jazz and Venezuelan Folk that showcases Ray's mandolin and guitar artistry and the solid, intricate rhythms of the band. The music includes modern arrangements of Brazilian choro, samba, bossa, and modern jazz that feature the mandolin with various Brazilian rhythms. Mixed with these are songs of Venezuelan folklore arranged by Ray on classical guitar, joined by very special guest Venezuelan musicians on traditional folklore instruments.
Below are sample sound clips of three songs on the Agradecido CD.

| Here is modern version of a song by Quarteto Novo, a Brazilian band from the 1960's that was especially known for both mastering and breaking traditions and "pushing the envelope" musically. This arrangement continues that tradition with modern rhythms and improvisations. |

| This "joropo" rhythm is typically played for the carnival time in the Llanero plains of Venezuela. Based on a very old song that dates back to the time of the Conquistadors in the 1500's and played on harp, I adapted this for guitar and added a new section. |
